AI Article Synopsis

  • A One Health approach emphasizes collaboration among diverse partners with different goals, highlighting the need for effective communication.
  • Barriers to collaboration include personality clashes, different organizational cultures, and the necessity for policy changes within specific agencies.
  • The article reviews successful interagency collaborations through case studies, showcasing how challenges were addressed and the benefits of a One Health approach in tackling public health issues.

Article Abstract

A One Health approach requires that nontraditional partners with differing mandates collaborate and communicate effectively. Barriers to such redefined relationships range from personality and institutional cultural and value differences to impediments that require changes in agency-specific policies. This article reviews interagency One Health collaborations, nationally and internationally. It presents a series of case studies that describe situations in which barriers were overcome, thus culminating in successful One Health outcomes. The case studies illustrate challenges, tipping points, and externally enabling factors that help institutionalize cross-bureaucratic working relationships. Likewise, the cases demonstrate the added value of taking a One Health approach to solving (or preventing) public health problems.

The recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-CRISPR-Cas12a-FQ system enables sensitive detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) in rare fish species. Here, we present a protocol for eDNA amplification and Cas12a for target recognition using RPA. We describe steps for identifying a target site, synthesis and purification of CRISPR RNA (crRNA), and RPA isothermal amplification.

Tumor heterogeneity remains a formidable obstacle in targeted cancer therapy, often leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. This study presents an innovative approach that harnesses controlled inflammation to guide neutrophil-mediated drug delivery, effectively overcoming the limitations imposed by tumor heterogeneity. By inducing localized inflammation within tumors using lipopolysaccharide, it significantly amplify the recruitment of drug-laden neutrophils to tumor sites, irrespective of specific tumor markers.

Making the Case for an International Childhood Cancer Data Partnership.

January 2025

Surveillance Research Program, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD, USA.

Childhood cancers are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases, accounting for less than 2% of all cancers diagnosed worldwide. Most countries, therefore, do not have enough cases to provide robust information on epidemiology, treatment, and late effects, especially for rarer types of cancer. Thus, only through a concerted effort to share data internationally will we be able to answer research questions that could not otherwise be answered.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates that blocking the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome can help reduce inflammatory pain linked to conditions like demyelination in the central nervous system.
  • This study tests necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s), a specific RIPK1 inhibitor, on LPS-induced inflammatory pain in male mice, assessing pain sensitivity through hot plate tests and examining related protein changes.
  • Results show that Nec-1s not only prevents LPS-induced pain relief but also reverses the activation of key proteins and signals involved in inflammation and demyelination, suggesting that RIPK1 inhibitors could be a promising treatment for managing inflammatory pain.
