Bridging communication gaps with the deaf.

Nursing

Previously, on the deaf unit for psychiatric adult and adolescent patients at Worcester State Hospital in Worcester, Mass., Gregory K. Shuler was the charge nurse, Lisa A. Mistler was the attending psychiatrist, Kathleen Torrey was the nursing supervisor, and Rayne Depukat was the sign language inte

Background: Fish are the largest group of vertebrates. Studying the characteristics, functions, and interactions of different fish cells is important for understanding their roles in disease and evolution. However, most single cell RNA-seq studies in fish are restricted to a few specific organs, leaving a comprehensive cell landscape that aims to characterize the heterogeneity and connections among body-wide organs largely unexplored.

Transgenerational trauma and schema therapy: Imagery rescripting and chairwork in practice.

Neuro Endocrinol Lett

September 2025

Department of Psychiatry, University Hospital Olomouc, Faculty of Medicine, Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Introduction: Transgerational transmitted trauma is the transmission of psychological injuries between generations. This article uses two case vignettes to explore selected schema therapy approaches that help clients process transgenerationally transmitted trauma from their ancestors. Specific methods of imagery rescripting and chair work enable clients to transform maladaptive patterns of experiencing into healthier coping strategies, support better stress management, improve emotional regulation and communication in relationships, and encourage more profound relationships with themselves and others.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable direct communication between the brain and computers. However, their long-term functionality remains limited due to signal degradation caused by acute insertion trauma, chronic foreign body reaction (FBR), and biofouling at the device-tissue interface. To address these challenges, we introduce a multifunctional surface modification strategy called targeting-specific interaction and blocking nonspecific adhesion (TAB) coating for flexible fiber, achieving a synergistic integration of mechanical compliance and biochemical stability.

Computer vision has been identified as one of the solutions to bridge communication barriers between speech-impaired populations and those without impairment as most people are unaware of the sign language used by speech-impaired individuals. Numerous studies have been conducted to address this challenge. However, recognizing word signs, which are usually dynamic and involve more than one frame per sign, remains a challenge.

A bridge too far: Identification of bridge cell states as drivers of plasticity in neuroblastoma.

Dev Cell

September 2025

Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA; Department of Neurobiology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA. Electronic address:

Understanding tumor cell plasticity, a potential mechanism driving therapeutic resistance in many cancers, represents a key oncologic challenge. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Xu et al. leverage neuroblastoma as a tractable model for exploring mechanisms of tumor plasticity and provide key insights into drivers of tumor cell states.
