Ataxin-2, an RNA-binding protein that is conserved across eukaryotes, is involved in stress granule assembly and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Boeynaems et al. identify a short linear motif in ataxin-2 as a condensation switch, providing molecular insights into its essential role in cellular stress response.

Importance: Tenecteplase is an alternative to alteplase for emergency treatment of acute ischemic stroke. However, limited data are available comparing their clinical effectiveness in routine clinical practice.
Objective: To compare short-term effectiveness and safety outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke treated with intravenous tenecteplase vs alteplase.

The cage concept, a central microscopic mechanism for glassy dynamics, has been utilized in concentrated colloidal suspensions to describe a number of phenomena. Here, we probe the evolution of cage formation and shear elasticity with increasing volume fraction in hard sphere suspensions, with emphasis on the short-time dynamics. To this end, we utilize linear viscoelastic (LVE) measurements, by means of conventional rotational rheometers and a home-made HF piezo-rheometer, to probe the dynamic response over a broad range of volume fractions up to the very dense glassy regime in proximity to random close packing.

Background: Exercise-induced urinary incontinence (UI) can hinder physical activity, particularly in women engaging in high-impact activities. This condition is linked to reduced passive support of the urethra and bladder. Intravaginal devices that support pelvic structures may offer a solution, but high-quality evidence is lacking.

However, medically complex children and adults under 50 years old represent a small (about 5%) but highly vulnerable subset of nursing home patients. We measured the impact of HCBS spending on short-term and long-term nursing home stays by children and adults under 44 years old and compared the impact between Non-Hispanic White (NHW) individuals and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

Background: Home-based palliative care is an ideal model for providing continuous, effective, and timely care at the patient's home. However, the timely recognition of palliative home care needs remains a clinical challenge, and few studies have described the characteristics of palliative care needs and quality of life at home.
Objectives: To identify the palliative home care needs of patients with advanced cancer and explore the influencing factors in addressing these needs.
