Ableism is a type of discriminatory bias, like racism and sexism, that one standard human norm exists and any ways of being human that don’t meet this standard are considered inferior. This paper interrogates the impact of ableism on providing optimal paediatric care for children with disabilities and how the pervasiveness of ableist discrimination impacts on children's health and well-being (SDG3) and heightens inequalities (SDG10).

The pandemic of COVID-19 has imposed tremendous pressure on public health systems and social economic ecosystems over the past years.

The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Keystone Symposia conference on Myeloid Cell Diversity, highlighting key presentations on topics such as phagocytosis of dead cells, neutrophil behavior, myeloid cell states, and the impact of lifestyle factors on myeloid cells in disease states. It also discusses the role of myeloid cells in Alzheimer's disease, specifically how their dissociation may mediate vascular dysfunction.

The article describes the development of a self-regulated multi-functional nano-modulator (siR/PIO@RP) that can intelligently navigate to the damaged blood-brain barrier and release therapeutic cargoes for synergetic Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. The nano-modulator is capable of reducing cerebral amyloid-β load, relieving neuroinflammation, and alleviating the dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, providing proof of concept that normalizing the neurovascular unit holds promise as a means of alleviating AD symptoms.
