This is a program description of a short-term residential unit in which whole families are assessed and treated. This unit provides an alternative treatment format for exploring situations where removal of the child appears to be the only remaining option. It also provides an in-depth consultation for agencies who are "stuck" in their treatment of family systems and allows for the teaching of family systems intervention techniques in a non-threatening way. It also allows an opportunity for an external system to reframe, what are, to the involved clinician, impasses with clinical problems. The program, because of its structure, introduces anxiety and tension into systems with chronic mental health problems. It, therefore, serves as, not a panacea, but as an adjunct to more traditional treatment for rigid and resistant systems.

CCL2, a pivotal cytokine within the chemokine family, functions by binding to its receptor CCR2. The CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the development of fibrosis across multiple organ systems by modulating the recruitment and activation of immune cells, which in turn influences the progression of fibrotic diseases in the liver, intestines, pancreas, heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. This paper introduces the biological functions of CCL2 and CCR2, highlighting their similarities and differences concerning fibrotic disorders in various organ systems, and reviews recent progress in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical fibrotic diseases linked to the CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway.

Copy number variations of the human gene, resulting from megabase-scale microdeletions or microduplications in the 3p26.3 region, are frequently implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and developmental delay. However, duplication of the full-length human gene presents with variable penetrance, resulting in phenotypes that range from neurodevelopmental disorders to no visible pathologies, even within the same family.
