The antigen presenting molecule MHC class I-related protein 1 (MR1) binds small molecule metabolites derived from the microbial riboflavin biosynthetic pathway and presents them at the cell surface for surveillance by MR1-restricted mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells). MR1 ligands can originate in the extracellular space or in endosomal compartments that contain microbial pathogens. Distinct, complementary antigen processing and presentation pathways enable MR1 to survey diverse...

While individual therapy is a common treatment for depressive symptoms, adults with depressive symptoms also engage in couple and family therapy. To date, no studies have fully compared the effectiveness of these three therapy models in a naturalistic clinical setting. This study investigates the extent that the rates of changes in depressive symptoms across 16 sessions of treatment differ across individual, couple, and family therapy. We analyzed clinical data from the Marriage and Family...

CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale multiomic analysis revealed significant associations between SCLC subtypes and specific immune signatures and comutations. These findings provide insights into the molecular heterogeneity of SCLC, and highlight potential biomarkers for targeted therapies.

Facial abnormalities and brain defects in aborted equine fetuses are rarely reported, and the causes that predispose the occurrence of this condition are difficult to identify. This work reports the morphological and tomographic findings of a case of cryptophthalmia, microphthalmia, oronasal malformation, and hydrocephalus in an aborted equine fetus with umbilical cord torsion in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from a primiparous Quarter Horse female, with 7 months of gestational age. The...
