Support_5504

Much of the work of caring for the growing population of older adults is done by family members who often find themselves in the proverbial “club sandwich” generation, struggling to juggle the competing demands of employment, raising a family, and providing unpaid care. Caregiving is often stressful and burdensome, in part due to the lack of support for family carers. In this blog post, the authors of anew qualitative studyinBMC Geriatricsdiscuss what they learned about carers’ goals and how technology could help them.

Human Pancreas Organoids: A step closer to understanding biology & treating disease

这篇发表在BMC发育生物学上的这篇论文的作者提出了一种通过生成“人类胰腺器官”来研究胰腺内部的新方法。作者使用从人胰腺中获取的细胞,创建了自组装的组织样结构,这些结构模仿了人类胰腺,以更简单的水平,帮助我们理解器官的发展,形式和功能。

在这项研究中,他们不仅能够产生这些“迷你”胰腺器官,而且还可以进一步以持续的遗传稳定性在长时间内传播它们。他们希望这种细胞衍生的技术将有助于分解随着时间的推移发生的细胞和组织水平过程,以加深我们对更好的治疗干预措施的理解,解决胰腺驱动疾病(如糖尿病,胰腺癌等)的基层问题。这些和类似的细胞来源技术将使我们能够深入了解疾病并更好地治疗疾病。

While the harms of gestational diabetes are well-known, along with the physical benefits of diagnosing and treating it early, the psychosocial harms of a diagnosis are less well-understood. In light of controversial changes to the diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes, the authors of anew systematic review of qualitative studies, 出版于BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, discuss balancing these benefits and harms and how their research should be used to inform future updates to the criteria.
