Despite global scale-up in antiretroviral-based prevention of mother-to-child transmission services, more than 250 000 infants become infected with HIV-1 each year. Breast milk transmission is responsible for almost half of these infections. The development of alternative strategies to prevent postnatal HIV-1 transmission is imperative to achieve a generation free of HIV-1.

Objectives: To determine the association between mothers' persistent maternal depression and their toddlers' behavior.
Methods: Online surveys were conducted twice with mothers who gave birth to their first child between March and June 2020. The survey periods were November 2020 and May-June 2022.
Neuronal subtypes derived from the embryonic hypothalamus and prethalamus regulate many essential physiological processes, yet the gene regulatory networks controlling their development remain poorly understood. Using single-cell RNA- and ATAC-sequencing, we analyzed mouse hypothalamic and prethalamic development from embryonic day 11 to postnatal day 8, profiling 660,000 cells in total. This identified key transcriptional and chromatin dynamics driving regionalization, neurogenesis, and differentiation.

Neonatal health is dependent on early risk stratification, diagnosis, and timely management of potentially devastating conditions, particularly in the setting of prematurity. Many of these conditions are poorly predicted in real-time by clinical data and current diagnostics. Umbilical cord blood may represent a novel source of molecular signatures that provides a window into the state of the fetus at birth.
