This study longitudinally examined the associations between mother-infant interactions at 15 months and behavioral and cognitive outcomes at 36 months of age in a sample of at-risk, young children. Participants for the current study were 58 infants/toddlers prenatally exposed to cocaine and their maternal caregivers. These infants were from a low socioeconomic status background and were part of an intervention setting. When the children were 12, 15, and 36 months, they participated in research sessions with their maternal caregivers. Cognitive development at 12 months and maternal and infant behavior at 15 months were measured to predict behavioral and cognitive outcome at 36 months. Higher levels of maternal control at 15 months were marginally significant in predicting higher levels of problem behavior at 36 months whereas higher levels of infant resistance to control predicted lower levels of problem behavior. Furthermore, control-resistant behavior displayed by infants was a unique buffer against problem behavior, even after controlling for maternal factors and cognitive abilities. These findings suggest that maternal control attempts and infant reactions to those maternal control behaviors play an important role in the development of adaptive and maladaptive behavior patterns during early childhood.

Social bees, with their specialized gut microbiota and societal transmission between individuals, provide an ideal model for studying host-gut microbiota interactions. While the functional disparities arising from strain-level diversity of gut symbionts and their effects on host health have been studied in Apis mellifera and bumblebees, studies focusing on host-specific investigations of individual strains across different honeybee hosts remain relatively unexplored. In this study, the complete genomic sequences of 17 strains of Gilliamella from A.

At the end of 2019, SARS-CoV-2 emerged and rapidly spread, having a profound negative impact on human health and socioeconomic conditions. In response to this unprecedented global health crisis, significant advancements were made in the mRNA vaccine technology. In this study, we have compared the difference between two SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) mRNA-Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines prepared from two different ionizable cationic lipids: ALC-0315 and MC3.

Scaffold-free tissue engineering strategies using cellular aggregates, microtissues, or organoids as "biological building blocks" could potentially be used for the engineering of scaled-up articular cartilage or endochondral bone-forming grafts. Such approaches require large numbers of cells; however, little is known about how different chondrogenic growth factor stimulation regimes during cellular expansion and differentiation influence the capacity of cellular aggregates or microtissues to fuse and generate hyaline cartilage. In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were additionally stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and/or transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 during both monolayer expansion and subsequent chondrogenic differentiation in a microtissue format.

Background: An accurate knowledge of a patient's risk of cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data loss is important for an informed decision-making process prior to deformity correction, but no prediction tool currently exists.
Methods: A total of 1,106 patients with spinal deformity and 205 perioperative variables were included. A stepwise machine-learning (ML) approach using random forest (RF) analysis and multivariable logistic regression was performed.

Introduction: Malocclusion is a public health problem. The evidence of its impact on quality of life is contradictory and requires further studies.
Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of severe malocclusion and its impact on oral health-related quality of life in schoolchildren aged 12-15 years.
