Transcription of T7 DNA in vitro by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase in the absence or presence of termination factor rho has been studied extensively using electron microscopy. It is demonstrated that sequences located between the early genes behave as transient transcriptional barriers in the absence of rho and are recognised both as rho-dependent terminators and as RNaseIII cleavage sites.

The HIV integrase inhibitor, dolutegravir (DTG), in the absence of eliciting integrase (int) resistance, has been reported to select mutations in the virus 3'-polypurine tract (3'-PPT) adjacent to the 3'-LTR U3. An analog of DTG, cabotegravir (CAB), has a high genetic barrier to drug resistance and is used in formulations for treatment and long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis. We examined whether mutations observed for DTG would emerge in vitro with CAB.

Background/objectives: Rural communities in the United States experience increased disparity of care for both general healthcare services and access to routine vaccines. Previous research has indicated a 40% lower vaccination rate in rural communities, as compared to urban counterparts. Having a better understanding regarding factors influencing lower vaccination rates in rural areas could help public health officials prepare for future vaccination efforts.

: Endothelial hyperpermeability is the hallmark of severe disease, including sepsis and acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS). The development of medical countermeasures to treat the corresponding illness is of utmost importance. Synthetic somatostatin analogs (SSA) are FDA-approved drugs prescribed in patients with neuroendocrine tumors, and they act via growth hormone (GH) suppression.

Mucosal immunity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory immune diseases. This study leverages single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial proteomics to compare the cellular mechanisms involved in periodontitis between humans and mice, aiming to develop precise strategies to protect the gingival mucosal barrier. We identified key conserved and divergent features in cellular landscapes and transcriptional profiles across the two species, underscoring the complexity of inflammatory responses and immune dynamics in periodontitis.

Background: A strong body of research has established stigma as a barrier to care for patients with substance use disorders (SUDs), which can lead to poorer patient outcomes. Prior qualitative research on healthcare practitioners' perceptions is limited. This study aimed to describe healthcare professional students' perceived roles in decreasing SUD stigma.
