Optogenetic experiments rely on the controlled delivery of light to diverse biological systems. Impressive devices have been recently developed to stimulate cells and small animals with multiple wavelengths and intensities. However, existing hardware solutions are often limited to a single sample holder, and their design and cost can further limit scalability.

In the emerging field of optogenetics, light-sensitive G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) allow for the temporally precise control of canonical cell signaling pathways. Expressing, stimulating, and measuring the activity of light-sensitive GPCRs (e.g.

Background: The scrutiny surrounding gender-affirming medical treatment (GAMT) for youth has increased, particularly concerning the limited evidence on long-term treatment outcomes. The Standards of Care 8 by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health addresses this by outlining research evidence suggesting "effective" outcomes of GAMT for adolescents. However, claims concerning what are considered "effective" outcomes of GAMT for adolescents remain implicit, requiring further reflection.

Comprehensive global estimates of the diarrhoeal disease burden for specific age groups of children younger than 5 years are scarce, and the burden in children older than 5 years and in adults is also understudied. We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to assess the burden of, and trends in, diarrhoeal diseases overall and attributable to 13 pathogens, as well as the contributions of associated risk factors, in children and adults in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

MINFLUX is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that enables single-molecule tracking in live cells at a single-nanometer spatial and sub-millisecond temporal resolution. This chapter describes a method for tracking fluorescently labeled human kinesin-1 in live cells using MINFLUX and analyzing kinesin stepping dynamics.
