    Abstract Ovarian function suppression (OFS) is a potentially life-saving treatment for young women diagnosed with high-risk hormonal-receptor (HR)+ early breast cancer (EBC), albeit one associated with significant side effects that may adversely affect quality of life. Of particular concern, this article raises a few borderline indications that were largely unaddressed in pivotal clinical trials but are still commonly encountered in daily practice. These, referred to here as 'borderline indications of OFS' remain a source of uncertainty for patients and physicians and are concisely addressed in this article.

    Abstract Frailty is highly prevalent among older adults. This study aims to add evidence to the mediational role of depression in the pain-frailty relationship. Data came from a sample of 2578 Spanish older adults recruited from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). A set of competing structural equation models were performed: (a) independent prediction, (b) full mediation, and (c) partial mediation. Results showed a better fit for the partial mediation model. This model was extended including covariates. The effects of pain and depression remained relevant in the final model, which explained 91% of the frailty variance. These findings support the relevance of the pain-depression dyad in frailty development. Although the pain shows a direct impact on frailty, this association is partially mediated by depression. The interplay of these conditions could be crucial for treatment effectiveness.

    Abstract Advancing biofabrication toward manufacturing living constructs with well-defined architectures and increasingly biologically relevant cell densities is highly desired to mimic the biofunctionality of native human tissues. The formulation of tissue-like, cell-dense inks for biofabrication remains, however, challenging at various levels of the bioprinting process. Promising advances have been made toward this goal, achieving relatively high cell densities that surpass those found in conventional platforms, pushing the current boundaries closer to achieving tissue-like cell densities. On this focus, herein the overarching challenges in the bioprocessing of cell-rich living inks into clinically grade engineered tissues are discussed, as well as the most recent advances in cell-rich living ink formulations and their processing technologies are highlighted. Additionally, an overview of the foreseen developments in the field is provided and critically discussed.

    Abstract Science faces challenges in developing much-needed precision mental health treatments to accurately identify and diagnose mental health problems and the optimal treatment for each individual. Digital twins (DTs) promise to revolutionize the field of mental health, as they are doing in other fields of science, including oncology and cardiology, where they have been successfully deployed. The use of DTs in mental health is yet to be explored. In this Perspective, we lay the conceptual foundations for mental health DTs (MHDT). An MHDT is a virtual representation of an individual's mental states and processes. It is continually updated from data collected over the lifespan of the individual, and guides mental health professionals in diagnosing and treating patients based on mechanistic models and statistical and machine learning tools. The merits of MHDT are demonstrated through the example of the working alliance between the therapist and the patient, which is one of the most consistent mechanisms predicting treatment outcome.

    Abstract Research suggests that a client's achievement goal orientation and alliance are important for positive treatment outcomes. However, it is currently unknown how a member's goal orientation and alliance in tandem relate to members' improvement in group therapy, despite conceptual wisdom regarding the additive effect of a high alliance and a mastery or approach goal orientation. Therefore, this study sought to examine the congruence between members' goal orientation and the member-group alliance on members' perceived improvement in group therapy. Data for this study came from 99 clients across 10 interpersonal process groups. Polynomial regression and response surface analysis were used to test the congruent and discrepant effects of members' goal orientation (i.e., approach-performance, avoidance-performance, and mastery orientation) and group alliance on their perceived improvement in group therapy. As hypothesized, members who reported congruent high group alliance and high mastery orientation or approach orientation compared to congruent low alliance and low mastery or approach orientation reported high levels of improvement in group therapy. Regarding discrepant effects, discrepant high alliance and low avoidance orientation compared to low alliance and high avoidance was positively related to improvement in group therapy, and discrepant high alliance and low approach orientation compared to low alliance and high approach was positively related to improvement in group therapy. Last, discrepant high alliance and low mastery and low alliance and high mastery were positively related to improvement in group therapy, suggesting a compensatory effect between mastery orientation and alliance on improvement.

    Abstract The neuroendocrine system that controls the preovulatory surge of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation in female mammals, is sexually differentiated in rodents. A transient increase in circulating testosterone levels in male rats within a few hours of birth is primarily responsible for the defeminization of anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) kisspeptin neurons, which are critical regulators of the GnRH/LH surge. The present study aimed to determine whether neonatal estradiol-17β (E2) converted from testosterone by aromatase primarily causes the defeminization of AVPV kisspeptin neurons and the surge of GnRH/LH in male rodents. The results of the present study showed that the neonatal administration of letrozole (LET), a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor, within 2 hours of birth rescued AVPV Kiss1 expression and the LH surge in adult male rats, while the neonatal administration of testosterone propionate (TP) irreversibly attenuated AVPV Kiss1 expression and the LH surge in adult female rats. Furthermore, the neonatal LET-treated Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato reporter males exhibited a comparable number of AVPV Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato-expressing cells to that of vehicle-treated female rats, while neonatal TP-treated females showed fewer AVPV Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato-expressing cells than vehicle-treated females. Moreover, neonatal TP administration significantly decreased the number of arcuate Kiss1-expressing and Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato-positive cells and suppressed LH pulses in adult gonadectomized female rats; however, neonatal LET administration failed to affect them. These results suggest that E2 converted from neonatal testosterone is primarily responsible for the defeminization of AVPV kisspeptin neurons and the subsequent GnRH/LH surge generation in male rats.

    Abstract Objective: Two lines of research, on outcome moderators and on novel treatment targets, seek to improve the overall efficacy of child anxiety treatment, with mixed results. We propose that an integration of both lines of research can lead to improved treatment efficacy. In a first proof of concept of this approach, we studied whether the interaction between baseline levels and targeted changes in peripheral oxytocin (OT) can predict differential responses to two childhood anxiety treatments.
    Method: A total of 124 mother-child dyads participated in the study. Children's salivary OT levels were measured at baseline and again, immediately after an experimental dyadic interaction in the lab. Dyads were subsequently randomized to receive one of two treatments, differing in their targets: SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) and CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy). Treatment outcomes were assessed using the Childhood Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders scale, reported by both mother and child.
    Results: The findings suggest that in SPACE, where the mother is the main agent of change, higher baseline levels of child OT, coupled with increases in OT following a positive mother-child interaction, predicted greater treatment efficacy. By contrast, in CBT, where the child is the main agent of change, higher baseline levels of child OT, coupled with a decrease in OT following the interaction, predicted greater treatment efficacy.
    Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of the integration between moderators and targets of treatments for progress toward improving treatment efficacy through precision medicine.
