Antitumoral immunity requires organized, spatially nuanced interactions between components of the immune tumor microenvironment (iTME). Understanding this coordinated behavior in effective versus ineffective tumor control will advance immunotherapies. We re-engineered co-detection by indexing (CODEX) for paraffin-embedded tissue microarrays, enabling simultaneous profiling of 140 tissue regions from 35 advanced-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with 56 protein markers. We identified nine conserved, distinct cellular neighborhoods (CNs)-a collection of components characteristic of the CRC iTME. Enrichment of PD-1+CD4+ T cells only within a granulocyte CN positively correlated with survival in a high-risk patient subset. Coupling of tumor and immune CNs, fragmentation of T cell and macrophage CNs, and disruption of inter-CN communication was associated with inferior outcomes. This study provides a framework for interrogating how complex biological processes, such as antitumoral immunity, occur through concerted actions of cells and spatial domains.
Despite the global scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), incarcerated people have not benefited equally from test-and-treat recommendations for HIV. To improve access to ART for incarcerated people with HIV, we introduced a universal test-and-treat (UTT) intervention in correctional facilities in South Africa and Zambia, and aimed to assess UTT feasibility and clinical outcomes.

Treatment as Prevention (TasP) was a multisite, mixed methods, implementation research study done at three correctional complexes in South Africa (Johnannesburg and Breede River) and Zambia (Lusaka). Here, we report the clinical outcomes for a prospective cohort of incarcerated individuals who were offered the TasP UTT intervention. Incarcerated individuals were eligible for inclusion if they were aged 18 years or older, with new or previously diagnosed HIV, not yet on ART, and were expected to remain incarcerated for 30 days or longer. iJMJD6 To enable the implementation of UTT at the included correctional facilities, we first strenational Development, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.

The case described used digital technology to apply prophylactic internal fixation before a lower third molar removal thought to be at high risk for a mandible fracture. A medical model of the patient's mandible was 3-dimensionally printed and used as a reference to prebend a titanium plate. Dynamic navigation, a form of computer-assisted surgery, was used during the surgery to accurately place the prebent titanium plate according to the corresponding position on the medical model.
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of isolated mandibular setback surgery on the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), using the STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ).

The authors implemented a double-blinded prospective quasi-experimental study. All healthy patients with skeletal Class III deformity older than 18years were included in this study. They were candidates for isolated mandibular setback surgery. The SBQ was completed by the pulmonologist, 1 week preoperatively (T0), and 1 and 6months postoperatively (T1 and T2, respectively). The mandibular setback displacement was the study intervention. The risk of OSA on the basis of the SBQ was the outcome variable. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the significance level was set at .05.

The sample comprised 30 patients (15 females, 15 males) with the average age of 25.77±4.76. The mean score of SBQ at T0 was 1.37±0.85, which increased to 2.33±1.52 at T1 interval. However, it decreased significantly to 1.47±1.17 at T2 interval , clinicians should be careful and discuss this potential increased risk with the patients, when this movement is required by the treatment plan. Further clinical trials are needed to support the relevancy.Transposable elements (TEs) comprise nearly half of the human genome and are often transcribed or exhibit cis-regulatory properties with unknown function in specific processes such as heart development. In the case of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), a TE subclass, experimental interrogation is constrained as many are primate-specific or human-specific. Here, we use primate pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes that mimic fetal cardiomyocytes in vitro to discover hundreds of ERV transcripts from the primate-specific MER41 family, some of which are regulated by the cardiogenic transcription factor TBX5. The most significant of these are located within BANCR, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) exclusively expressed in primate fetal cardiomyocytes. Functional studies reveal that BANCR promotes cardiomyocyte migration in vitro and ventricular enlargement in vivo. We conclude that recently evolved TE loci such as BANCR may represent potent de novo developmental regulatory elements that can be interrogated with species-matching pluripotent stem cell models.The hippocampus and its extended network contribute to encoding and recall of episodic experiences. Drawing from recent anatomical, physiological, and behavioral studies, we propose that hippocampal engrams function as indices to mediate memory recall. We broaden this idea to discuss potential relationships between engrams and hippocampal place cells, as well as the molecular, cellular, physiological, and circuit determinants of engrams that permit flexible routing of information to intra- and extrahippocampal circuits for reinstatement, a feature critical to memory indexing. Incorporating indexing into frameworks of memory function opens new avenues of study and even therapies for hippocampal dysfunction.Dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs) connect the entorhinal cortex to the hippocampal CA3 region, but how they process spatial information remains enigmatic. To examine the role of GCs in spatial coding, we measured excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and action potentials (APs) in head-fixed mice running on a linear belt. Intracellular recording from morphologically identified GCs revealed that most cells were active, but activity level varied over a wide range. Whereas only ∼5% of GCs showed spatially tuned spiking, ∼50% received spatially tuned input. Thus, the GC population broadly encodes spatial information, but only a subset relays this information to the CA3 network. Fourier analysis indicated that GCs received conjunctive place-grid-like synaptic input, suggesting code conversion in single neurons. GC firing was correlated with dendritic complexity and intrinsic excitability, but not extrinsic excitatory input or dendritic cable properties. Thus, functional maturation may control input-output transformation and spatial code conversion.
