Interpersonal dependency is typically viewed as a risk factor for prolonged grief among conjugally bereaved adults. However, emerging empirical evidence and theoretical advances suggest that one manifestation of interpersonal dependency--adaptive dependency--may serve as a protective factor in coping with loss. This study compared adaptive and maladaptive dependency across three matched groups: prolonged grievers, asymptomatically bereaved adults, and a married comparison group. Results suggest a link between adaptive dependency and asymptomatic bereavement, and between maladaptive dependency and prolonged grief.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern caused by conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic nephritis, leading to structural and functional kidney injury. Kidney fibrosis is a common outcome of CKD progression, with abnormal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disrupting renal energy homeostasis and leading to functional impairments. This results in maladaptive repair mechanisms and the secretion of profibrotic factors, and exacerbates renal fibrosis.

Previous reports have suggested that both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathways contribute to the progression of chronic kidney disease; however, the relationship between these 2 pathways in kidney injury has not been fully elucidated. Andrade-Silva et al. revealed that the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway can enhance ER stress through the protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK)-mediated signaling cascade in kidney tubular epithelial cells and sequentially augment fibrosis during kidney injury.

Metabolic disorders have been identified as one of the causes of drug-induced liver injury; however, the direct regulatory mechanism regarding this disorder has not yet been clarified. In this study, a single regulatory mechanism of small molecule kinase inhibitors, with crizotinib as the representative drug is elucidated. First, it is discovered that crizotinib induced aberrant lipid metabolism and apoptosis in the liver.

Selective inhibitors that target cyclin dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6i) are FDA approved for treatment of a subset of breast cancers and are being evaluated in numerous clinical trials for other cancers. Despite this advance, a subset of tumors are intrinsically resistant to these drugs and acquired resistance is nearly inevitable. Recent mechanistic evidence suggests that in addition to stalling the cell cycle, the anti-tumor effects of CDK4/6i involve the induction of chromosomal instability (CIN).

Empathic stress is the reproduction of psychological and physiological stress activation in an observer of a directly stressed target individual. It likely allows us to allocate the energy necessary to jointly alleviate a stressor at hand. The tendency to show such an empathic or "second-hand" stress response depends on the relationship between target and observer.
