The authors report on an international collaboration that uses the Internet for medical education. In addition to introducing the students to electronic communication, the project aims to further international collaboration and understanding and to emphasize the importance of a population perspective for health and disease. Students and professors in Canada, England and Hungary participated.

Identification of novel cytoskeleton protein involved in spermatogenic cells and sertoli cells of non-obstructive azoospermia based on microarray and bioinformatics analysis.
BMC Med Genomics
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Faculty of General of Medicine, Koya University, Koya, Kurdistan Region - F.R., KOY45, Iraq.
Background: During mammalian spermatogenesis, the cytoskeleton system plays a significant role in morphological changes. Male infertility such as non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) might be explained by studies of the cytoskeletal system during spermatogenesis.
Methods: The cytoskeleton, scaffold, and actin-binding genes were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics (771 spermatogenic cellsgenes and 774 Sertoli cell genes).
How can cervical screening meet the needs of vulnerable women? A qualitative comparative study with stakeholder perspectives from seven European countries.
BMJ Open
January 2025
University Research Clinic for Cancer Screening, Randers Regional Hospital, Randers, Denmark.
Objective: This study explored and compared stakeholder perspectives on enhancements to cervical cancer screening for vulnerable women across seven European countries.
Design: In a series of Collaborative User Boards, stakeholders were invited to collaborate on identifying facilitators to improve cervical cancer screening.
Setting: This study was part of the CBIG-SCREEN project which is funded by the European Union and targets disparities in cervical cancer screening for vulnerable women (www.
Dynamic behavior of cell-cell adhesion factors in collective cell migration.
Cells Dev
January 2025
Quantitative and Imaging Biology, International Research Collaboration Center (IRCC), National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS), Japan; Trans-Scale Biology Center, National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB), National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS), Japan. Electronic address:
Collective cell migration is a fundamental process underlying various biological phenomena, including embryonic development and cancer cell invasion. The cohesive yet flexible movement of cell collectives largely depends on the coordinated regulation of cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesions. In this review, we summarize the regulation of key cell-cell junction components, such as cadherins and zonula occludens proteins during collective cell migration, with a particular focus on the recently discovered multifaceted roles of ZO-1 in both cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions.

Background: No treatments exist for apathy in people with frontotemporal dementia. Previously, in a randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study, intranasal oxytocin administration in people with frontotemporal dementia improved apathy ratings on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory over 1 week and, in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, a single dose of 72 IU oxytocin increased blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal in limbic brain regions. We aimed to determine whether longer treatment with oxytocin improves apathy in people with frontotemporal dementia.

Faculty of Medicine, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wrocław, Poland.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by painful, deep-seated nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels in the skin of axillary, inguinal, genitoanal, or inframammary areas. In recent years, the body of knowledge in hidradenitis suppurativa has advanced greatly. This disorder typically starts in the second or third decade of life.
