Article Abstract

Cell division is often regulated by extracellular signaling networks to ensure correct patterning during development. In , the SHORT-ROOT (SHR)/SCARECROW (SCR) transcription factor dimer activates ; () to drive formative divisions during root ground tissue development. Here, we show plasma-membrane-localized BARELY ANY MERISTEM1/2 (BAM1/2) family receptor kinases are required for -dependent formative divisions and expression, but not -dependent ground tissue specification. Root-enriched CLE ligands bind the BAM1 extracellular domain and are necessary and sufficient to activate -mediated divisions and expression. Correspondingly, BAM-CLE signaling contributes to the restriction of formative divisions to the distal root region. Additionally, genetic analysis reveals that BAM-CLE and SHR converge to regulate additional cell divisions outside of the ground tissues. Our work identifies an extracellular signaling pathway regulating formative root divisions and provides a framework to explore this pathway in patterning and evolution.

Developing Validity Evidence for a Novel Pediatric Telemedicine Assessment Tool (PTAT) for Pediatric Residents: A Pilot Study.

Acad Pediatr

September 2025

Objectives: Telemedicine use among pediatric residents has grown in recent years, accompanied by the development of best practices and curricula that outline essential telemedicine skills. However, there is a notable lack of methods to assess these skills. Our work aims to address this gap by designing and building validity evidence for a novel pediatric telemedicine assessment tool, the Pediatric Telemedicine Assessment Tool (PTAT).

Background: In the United States, persisting new HIV diagnoses among gay, bisexual, and other cisgender men who have sex with men (GBMSM) and transgender women make it unlikely that the United States will meet the Ending the HIV Epidemic's (EHE) goal to reduce new HIV diagnoses by 90% by 2030. Innovative strategies are needed to address this challenge, particularly in the US South, where Black and Latinx GBMSM and transgender women are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Social network approaches have led to increased HIV testing uptake.

Adolescence represents a key opportunity for breast cancer prevention, as the rapid proliferation of breast tissue during puberty creates a critical window of vulnerability for the development of cancerous cells. With increasing research on adolescent dietary factors and breast cancer risk, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the associations between adolescent diet and risk of breast cancer in adulthood, as well as benign breast disease (BBD) and high mammographic breast density, which are markers for breast cancer. We searched Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL and Embase for epidemiological studies assessing dietary intakes in adolescent girls (aged 10-18 years), published through 16 October 2024, with no language or time restrictions.

Background: Psychological trauma is a highly prevalent driver of poor health among people with HIV in the Southern United States. Trauma-informed care (TIC) has potential to advance national Ending the HIV Epidemic goals, but formative research is needed to tailor TIC implementation to complex and interdependent HIV networks.

Methods: We applied a community-based participatory research approach to iteratively engage personnel from high-volume HIV care institutions in Nashville, Tennessee.

Background: Memphis, Tennessee is second in the nation for HIV incidence, with one in three diagnoses among youth. Psychological trauma disproportionately impacts youth with HIV, compared with HIV-negative counterparts, requiring community-led and trauma-informed solutions to address mental wellness among youth with HIV. However, a dearth of research concentrates on trauma-informed care (TIC) for this population, with little exploration among youth-centered HIV care settings or into strategies for mobilizing communities to develop solutions.
