    Abstract Since the inception of the Higher Education Opportunity Act in 2008, there has been an increase in the number of post-secondary education institutions in the United States that have established inclusive postsecondary programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities to attend college and achieve higher levels of employment. Previous studies have investigated the development and outcomes of these programs, however, less has been explored related to professors' experiences and perceptions regarding this unique student population, particularly within Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI). The current study focused on professors teaching inclusive courses within a new Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Program at a HSI and aimed to identify their perceptions and experiences related to instructing students with intellectual disabilities. Six professors participated in pre- and post-semester in-depth interviews. Findings from applied thematic analysis included: (a) barriers to success; (b) academic supports and strategies; (c) successful outcomes and (d) considerations for future, related programming.

    Abstract Commentaries on the target article offer diverse perspectives on integrative experiment design. Our responses engage three themes: (1) Disputes of our characterization of the problem, (2) skepticism toward our proposed solution, and (3) endorsement of the solution, with accompanying discussions of its implementation in existing work and its potential for other domains. Collectively, the commentaries enhance our confidence in the promise and viability of integrative experiment design, while highlighting important considerations about how it is used.

    Abstract Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Cardiac fibrosis is the uncontrolled accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, which can exacerbate the progression of heart failure, and there are currently no drugs approved specifically to target matrix accumulation in the heart. Computational signaling network models (SNMs) can be used to facilitate discovery of novel drug targets. However, the vast majority of SNMs are not sex-specific and/or are developed and validated using data skewed towards male in vitro and in vivo samples. Biological sex is an important consideration in cardiovascular health and drug development. In this study, we integrate a cardiac fibroblast SNM with estrogen signaling pathways to create sex-specific SNMs. The sex-specific SNMs demonstrated high validation accuracy compared to in vitro experimental studies in the literature while also elucidating how estrogen signaling can modulate the effect of fibrotic cytokines via multi-pathway interactions. Further, perturbation analysis and drug screening uncovered several drug compounds predicted to generate divergent fibrotic responses in male vs. female conditions, which warrant further study in the pursuit of sex-specific treatment recommendations for cardiac fibrosis. Future model development and validation will require more generation of sex-specific data to further enhance modeling capabilities for clinically relevant sex-specific predictions of cardiac fibrosis and treatment.
