The aim of this retrospective descriptive study was to compare students' reflective responses to a set question 18 months apart to determine if their understanding of nurses' commitment to serve all clients regardless of age, gender, religious affiliation, or racial origin changed. One hundred and twenty-six reflections (63 pairs) were thematically analysed. Three themes were developed: equal treatment; commitment to serve all clients; and 'it's not easy'. Cultural competency, although not yet fully operationalized in the nursing profession, is a developmental process that goes across time. It is also more than learning about other cultures.

Mapping the developmental trajectory of human astrocytes reveals divergence in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is defined by heterogeneous and resilient cell populations that closely reflect neurodevelopmental cell types. Although it is clear that GBM echoes early and immature cell states, identifying the specific developmental programmes disrupted in these tumours has been hindered by a lack of high-resolution trajectories of glial and neuronal lineages. Here we delineate the course of human astrocyte maturation to uncover discrete developmental stages and attributes mirrored by GBM.
