Article Abstract
Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) are optimal settings for research to be conducted in the real world of clinical practice where the majority of care is provided. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (Network), which is one of the largest and most successful Dental PBRNs, and its impact on orthodontics. The Network is currently in its third seven-year round of funding and has conducted 58 studies to date. There are over 8,000 members enrolled in the Network. The largest prospective cohort study on anterior open bites was conducted through the Network. The Network provides resources and opportunities to engage clinicians in practice-based participatory research where clinical studies with direct impact on clinical outcomes are conducted.

Adoptive T-cell therapies, and particularly CAR T cells and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, have transformed cancer treatment by selectively targeting malignant cells. Despite their clinical success, these therapies face substantial challenges, including costly manufacturing processes and tumour-imposed barriers that limit efficacy. Advances in understanding the nanoscale mechanisms governing T-cell activation and the role of the tumour microenvironment in restricting T-cell responses have driven the development of nanotechnology-based strategies that integrate key chemical and physical cues.

Nonapoptotic programmed cell death (PCD) has been recognized as potential alternative target for increasing chemosensitivity and augmenting antitumor efficacy. Among various types of nonapoptotic PCD, methuosis has gotten increasing attention recently, largely due to its unique morphological features and potential implications for apoptosis-resistant tumor therapy with negligible side effects. Methuosis is characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolization initiated by sustained macropinocytosis, concomitantly, the other cytotoxic agents from extracellular fluid can be delivered into cytoplasm of tumor cell via macropinocytosis, which can profoundly strengthen the combined antitumor efficacy.

The growing global population and economic development have increased the demand for meat with desired texture and flavor requirements. While intensive breeding and advancements in nutrition and management practices have driven significant improvements in meat production, sustainable solutions are still needed to further enhance both meat yield and quality. The Myostatin (MSTN) gene, which acts as an inhibitor of muscle growth and differentiation, has been extensively studied.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and provide an overview of Down syndrome and child- and mother-associated factors in Brazil from 2010 to 2020. This was a cross-sectional study including epidemiological characteristics related to live births of individuals with and without Down syndrome using the Brazilian government website. The average prevalence of Down syndrome in Brazil was approximately 30.
