Vitiligo is a common chronic skin depigmentation disorder that seriously decreases the patients' overall quality of life. Human blood metabolites could contribute to unraveling the underlying biological mechanisms of vitiligo. We used GWAS summary statistics to assess the causal association between genetically predicted 1,400 serum metabolites and vitiligo risk by Mendelian randomization (MR).

Background: Stromal cells play a pivotal role in the tumor microenvironment (TME), significantly impacting the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study sought to develop a stromal-related prognostic model for AML, aiming to uncover novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets.
Methods: RNA expression data and clinical profiles of AML patients were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Introduction/background: Group work plays a crucial role in healthcare education by fostering collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills. However, students often face challenges such as unequal workload distribution, conflict, and anxiety. Group learning contracts have been introduced to improve group dynamics by setting clear expectations, enhancing accountability, and promoting effective collaboration.

Unlabelled: Type IV pili (T4P) are important virulence factors that allow bacteria to adhere to and rapidly colonize their hosts. T4P are primarily composed of major pilins that undergo cycles of extension and retraction and minor pilins that initiate pilus assembly. Bacteriophages use T4P as receptors and exploit pilus dynamics to infect their hosts.

Introduction: We previously demonstrated efficacy of an 8-antigen recombinant subunit vaccine against a single species homologous challenge in lambs and in lambing ewes in pen trials. We subsequently demonstrated efficacy of a simplified, 2-antigen, version of this vaccine in lambs in pen trials. Here, we test both vaccines in lambing ewes in a field setting.
