Article Synopsis
  • The Broaden-and-Build Theory of positive emotions suggests that positive emotions enhance cognitive flexibility and improve life outcomes, serving as a counterpoint to negative cycles in psychology.
  • Two studies were conducted using network modeling with participants (312 and 302) to investigate the relationships among positive emotions, resources, and life outcomes.
  • Results showed a strong connection between positive emotions and beneficial life outcomes, but questioned the intermediary role of "broadening," suggesting that the theory's current form may need revision.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) represent an emerging therapeutic platform for targeting genetic diseases by influencing various aspects of (pre-)mRNA biology, such as splicing, stability, and translation. In this study, we investigated the potential of modulating the splicing pattern in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) patient cells carrying a frequent genomic variant (c.425A > G) that disrupts splicing in the gene by using short 2'-O-(2-Methoxyethyl) oligoribo-nucleotides (2'-MOE ASOs).

Background: Pancreatic cancer is mostly diagnosed in an advanced stage and treated with systemic therapy with palliative intent. Nowadays, the doublet chemotherapy of Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (Gem-Nab) is one of the most frequently used regimens worldwide, but is not ubiquitarily available or reimbursed. Therefore, we compared the clinical efficacy of Gem-Nab to a historical control of patients treated with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (Gem-Ox) at our tertiary cancer center, which was the standard treatment prior to the introduction of FOLFIRINOX.
