Human Trafficking in Adolescents: Adopting a Youth-centered Approach to Identification and Services.

Prim Care

Department of Pediatrics, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center (MSAHC), 320 East 94th Street, New York, NY 10128, USA.

Published: June 2020

This article describes core design features of a youth-centered approach to care that 2 organizations-Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center and Covenant House New Jersey-use to serve clients in nontraditional primary care settings and subsequently illustrates the ways in which this approach succeeds at identifying and serving youth who have experienced human trafficking. Primary care providers are uniquely positioned to connect adolescent human trafficking survivors to existing protection and treatment resources. The primary care community can adapt these interventions for adolescent patients who have experienced human trafficking and become key personnel on the frontline of recovery and prevention.

Outer dynein arms (ODAs) are essential for ciliary motility and are preassembled in the cytoplasm before trafficking into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT). ODA16 is a key adaptor protein that links ODAs to the IFT machinery via a direct interaction with the IFT46 protein. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the assembly, transport, and release of ODAs remain poorly understood.

Integrin Trafficking, Fibronectin Architecture, and Glomerular Injury upon AdipoR1 Depletion.

J Am Soc Nephrol

January 2025

Research Program for Clinical and Molecular Metabolism, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.

Background: Deficiency of adiponectin and its downstream signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis of kidney injury in type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin activates intracellular signaling via adiponectin receptors 1 and 2 (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2), but the role of AdipoR-mediated signaling in glomerular injury in type 2 diabetes remains unknown.

Methods: The expression of AdipoR1 in the kidneys of people with type 2 diabetes and the expression of podocyte proteins or injury markers in the kidneys of AdipoR1-knockout (AdipoR1-KO) mice and immortalized AdipoR1-deficient human podocytes were investigated by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting.

A genome-wide atlas of human cell morphology.

Nat Methods

January 2025

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA, USA.

A key challenge of the modern genomics era is developing empirical data-driven representations of gene function. Here we present the first unbiased morphology-based genome-wide perturbation atlas in human cells, containing three genome-wide genotype-phenotype maps comprising CRISPR-Cas9-based knockouts of >20,000 genes in >30 million cells. Our optical pooled cell profiling platform (PERISCOPE) combines a destainable high-dimensional phenotyping panel (based on Cell Painting) with optical sequencing of molecular barcodes and a scalable open-source analysis pipeline to facilitate massively parallel screening of pooled perturbation libraries.

Assessing the impact of TiO nanomaterials on intestinal cells: new evidence for epithelial translocation and potential pro-inflammatory effects.

Understanding the potential impact of nanomaterials (NMs) on human health requires further investigation into the organ-specific nano-bio interplay at the cellular and molecular levels. We showed increased chromosomal damage in intestinal cells exposed to some of in vitro digested Titanium dioxide (TiO) NMs. The present study aimed to explore possible mechanisms linked to the uptake, epithelial barrier integrity, cellular trafficking, as well as activation of pro-inflammatory pathways, after exposure to three TiO-NMs (NM-102, NM-103, and NM-105).
