Article Abstract
How BRCA1 germline mutations predispose to cancer remains poorly understood. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent an emerging model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying malignant transformation in primary cells from individuals who are carriers of deleterious mutations in the BRCA1 gene. Here we report the generation and characterization of iPSC lines from a female donor harboring a germline c.3612delA mutation in the BRCA1 gene and her daughter who does not carry the mutation. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using non-integrative Sendai virus and characterized for their pluripotent properties. These iPSCs are a valuable cellular model for personalized pre-clinical research in the context of BRCA1 mutant hereditary cancers.

State-Level Variation in and Barriers to Medicaid Abortion Coverage.
JAMA Netw Open

Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.
Importance: Approximately 35% of individuals seeking abortion care use Medicaid for health insurance. Although the Hyde Amendment restricts use of federal funds for most abortions, states can supplement coverage using state funds. Understanding the scope of abortion coverage across states and potential barriers to access may help address health care inequities and inform interventions.

Several micro- and nanoplastic particle (MNP) traits, like polymer type, size, and shape, have been shown to influence MNP toxicity. However, the direction and strength of these moderating effects are often unclear, and generalizations from single studies are challenging to establish. Meta-analyses increase generalizability and derive more accurate and precise effect size estimates by combining measurements from published studies.

IntroductionThe rapid expansion of virtual ambulatory care has included both video and audio-only modalities. The impact of visit modality on patient experience is poorly understood, particularly in the interplay with social health determinants and technical aspects of virtual care. We sought to characterize differences in the patient-reported experience of virtual care between video and audio-only modalities, and to understand drivers of these differences.

Introduction: Pharmacokinetic differences between long-acting injectable antipsychotic (LAI) formulations, combined with a lack of clinical switch studies, contribute to clinician uncertainty when transitioning between LAIs. This analysis employed a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling approach to characterize dosing conversions and switching strategies from intramuscular paliperidone palmitate once monthly (PP1m) to TV-46000, a long-acting subcutaneous formulation of risperidone, once monthly (q1m), with a secondary analysis of PP1m to TV-46000 every 2 months (q2m).
Methods: For PP1m and TV-46000, concentration-time profiles for paliperidone and TV-46000 total active moiety (TAM; risperidone + paliperidone) were simulated on the basis of published popPK models with virtual populations of 5000 patients.
Expression and characterization of a Clostridium Butyricum esterase from pit cellar of Chinese liquor and its potential in flavor ester synthesis.

The esterase gene encoding EstJN1 of Clostridium butyricum, which was isolated from the pit cellar of Chinese liquor facility, was expressed. EstJN1 was identified as a novel GDSL esterase belonging to family II. The enzyme demonstrated a marked substrate preference for p-nitrophenyl butyrate, with optimal activity at a temperature of 40 ℃ and a pH of 7.
