Background: Psilocybin therapy (PT) produces rapid and persistent antidepressant effects in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the long-term effects of PT have never been compared with gold-standard treatments for MDD such as pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy alone or in combination.
Methods: This is a 6-month follow-up study of a phase 2, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial involving patients with moderate-to-severe MDD.

Introduction Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency that requires a timely and accurate diagnosis to prevent complications. Several laboratory markers have been assessed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of acute appendicitis, including C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC) count, and cytokines like interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. One less commonly used but potentially valuable marker is the mean platelet volume (MPV), which indicates the size of circulating platelets and has the potential to serve as a biomarker for inflammatory conditions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCell clustering is an essential step in uncovering cellular architectures in single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. However, the existing cell clustering approaches are not well designed to dissect complex structures of cellular landscapes at a finer resolution. Here, we develop a multi-scale clustering (MSC) approach to construct sparse cell-cell correlation network for identifying de novo cell types and subtypes at multiscale resolution in an unsupervised manner.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnnotation with widely used, well-structured ontologies, combined with the use of ontology-aware software tools, ensures data and analyses are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). Standardized terms with synonyms support lexical search. Ontology structure supports biologically meaningful grouping of annotations (typically by location and type).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImaging-based spatial transcriptomics (ST) is evolving rapidly as a pivotal technology in studying the biology of tumors and their associated microenvironments. However, the strengths of the commercially available ST platforms in studying spatial biology have not been systematically evaluated using rigorously controlled experiments. In this study, we used serial 5-m sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma and pleural mesothelioma tumor samples in tissue microarrays to compare the performance of the single cell ST platforms CosMx, MERFISH, and Xenium (uni/multi-modal) platforms in reference to bulk RNA sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, and hematoxylin and eosin staining data for the same samples.
