The directed migration of cells drives the formation of many complex organ systems. Although in this morphogenetic context cells display a strong preference for migrating in organized, cohesive groups, little is known about the mechanisms that coordinate their movements. Recent studies on several model systems have begun to dissect the organization of these migrating tissues in vivo and have shown that cell guidance is mediated by a combination of chemical and mechanical cues.

Unlabelled: Widespread recognition of food as medicine interventions' role in reducing food insecurity and improving health outcomes has recently emerged. Several states have released In Lieu of Services, state-approved alternative services that may be offered by managed care organizations in place of covered benefits, or 1,115 Medicaid waivers, which may allow for expanded nutrition services to reduce food insecurity and improve health outcomes. However, there are significant gaps in understanding how to create a statewide system for delivering "healthcare by food" interventions.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a globally prevalent neurological condition, often resulting in motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions that lead to permanent disability. However, outdated epidemiological data hinder the development and implementation of effective public health policies. This study aimed to examine and compare trends in the burden of spinal cord injury-specifically incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLD)-in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021, and to project these trends over the next 15 years.

Background: Uganda has been confronted with a sustained influx of refugees for decades. This prompted the government to explore opportunities to integrate refugees into local service structures including its national health system. This paper chronicles the history of policies and strategies that have influenced the integration of refugees into the national health system in Uganda and investigates factors that impacted policy evolution and progression.

Background: Co-occurring self-harm and aggression (dual harm) is particularly prevalent among forensic mental health service (FMHS) patients. There is limited understanding of why this population engages in dual harm.
Aims: This work aims to explore FMHS patients' experiences of dual harm and how they make sense of this behaviour, with a focus on the role of emotions.

Aim: The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on birth and pregnancy trends in Japan remain unclear. Although major sporting events are usually followed by an increase in births 9 months later, Japan's fifth wave of COVID-19 occurred during the Olympics held in Japan during the summer of 2021. In this study, we analyzed how the number of births and pregnancies changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and large-scale events in Japan.
