    Abstract Rhombomeres serve to position neural progenitors in the embryonic hindbrain, thereby ensuring appropriate neural circuit formation, but the molecular identities of individual rhombomeres and the mechanism whereby they form has not been fully established. Here, we apply scMultiome analysis in zebrafish to molecularly resolve all rhombomeres for the first time. We find that rhombomeres become molecularly distinct between 10hpf (end of gastrulation) and 13hpf (early segmentation). While the embryonic hindbrain transiently contains alternating odd- versus even-type rhombomeres, our scMultiome analyses do not detect extensive odd versus even molecular characteristics in the early hindbrain. Instead, we find that each rhombomere displays a unique gene expression and chromatin profile. Prior to the appearance of distinct rhombomeres, we detect three hindbrain progenitor clusters (PHPDs) that correlate with the earliest visually observed segments in the hindbrain primordium that represent prospective rhombomere r2/r3 (possibly including r1), r4, and r5/r6, respectively. We further find that the PHPDs form in response to Fgf and RA morphogens and that individual PHPD cells co-express markers of multiple mature rhombomeres. We propose that the PHPDs contain mixed-identity progenitors and that their subdivision into individual rhombomeres requires the resolution of mixed transcription and chromatin states.

    Abstract Background: Cleft palate is one of the most prevalent birth defects. Mice are useful for studying palate development because of their morphological and genetic similarities to humans. In mice, palate development occurs between embryonic days (E)11.5 to 15.5. Single cell transcriptional profiles of palate cell populations have been a valuable resource for the craniofacial research community, but we lack a single cell transcriptional profile for anterior palate at E13.5, at the transition from proliferation to shelf elevation.
    Results: A detailed single cell RNA sequencing analysis reveals heterogeneity in expression profiles of the cell populations of the E13.5 anterior palate. Hybridization chain reaction RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (HCR RNA FISH) reveals epithelial populations segregate into layers. Mesenchymal populations spatially segregate into four domains. One of these mesenchymal populations expresses ligands and receptors distinct from the rest of the mesenchyme, suggesting that these cells have a unique function. RNA velocity analysis shows two terminal cell states that contribute to either the proximal or distal palatal regions emerge from a single progenitor pool.
    Conclusion: This single cell resolution expression data and detailed analysis from E13.5 anterior palate provides a powerful resource for mechanistic insight into secondary palate morphogenesis for the craniofacial research community.

    Abstract Objectives: Development of new patient-facing roles for pharmacists and reports of poor patient care in the UK has led to questions concerning how pharmacists develop professionalism. This study explored how professionalism is developed and assessed during the post-graduation year in practice or pre-registration placement. The perspectives of two staff at the professional regulator UK (General Pharmaceutical Council), eight service users, seven pre-registration trainees, and 12 pre-registration tutors were recruited.
    Methods: An interpretative paradigm was adopted. Data collection involved a semi-structured group interview, focus groups and a qualitative e-questionnaire. An inductive reasoning approach informed data analysis and interpretation.
    Key findings: All groups provided insights into examples of transformative moments which potentiated professionalism development, the first being awarding the 'pre-registration trainee' title. All groups reported that contact with patients and trainee reflection aided professionalism maturation from a 'self-centred student' to becoming a 'responsible professional' where more than 'doing' is demanded. Furthermore, tutors stated the rate of professionalism development was affected by the sector of training and its opportunities for patient contact. Tutors felt they alone, not the registration exam, assessed professionalism using a variety of assessment approaches. Importantly, no tutors reported patient involvement in the assessment of trainees' professionalism, yet service users expected to be involved.
    Conclusions: Transformative moments and maturation periods during pre-registration training develop professionalism and enable trainees to 'become' a pharmacist. Careful planning of placements to optimise professionalism development across pharmacy sectors and consistent patient involvement in assessing trainee professionalism is recommended.

    Abstract The rete ovarii (RO) is an epithelial structure that arises during development in close proximity to the ovary and persists throughout adulthood. However, the functional significance of the RO remains elusive, and it is absent from recent discussions of female reproductive anatomy. The RO comprises three regions: the intraovarian rete within the ovary, the extraovarian rete in the periovarian tissue, and the connecting rete linking the two. We hypothesize that the RO plays a pivotal role in ovarian homeostasis and responses to physiological changes. To begin to uncover the nature and function of RO cells, we conducted transcriptomic profiling of the RO. This study presents three datasets, and reports our analysis and quality control approaches for bulk, single-cell, and nucleus-level transcriptomics of the fetal and adult RO tissues using the Pax8-rtTA; Tre-H2B-GFP mouse line, where all RO regions express nuclear GFP. The integration and rigorous validation of these datasets will advance our understanding of the RO's roles in ovarian development, female maturation, and adult female fertility.

    Abstract Anticipatory/advance care planning (ACP) conversations are often known to be challenging and should be undertaken sensitively. A qualitative service evaluation was undertaken with the elderly care department at The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust by medical students to explore the thoughts and experiences of foundation doctors. ACP discussions include consideration of future treatment options and preferences; however, foundation doctors were not confident to discuss issues beyond resuscitation status. The key themes identified include understanding of and confidence in ACP, variation across specialty and medical educational needs. The analysis highlights a further need for qualitative research into prevalent attitudes towards ACP discussions across the range of specialties.

    Abstract Ventral spinal cord progenitor cells, which express the basic helix loop helix transcription factor Olig2, sequentially produce motor neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Following specification some OPCs differentiate as myelinating oligodendrocytes while others persist as OPCs. Though a considerable amount of work has described the molecular profiles that define motor neurons, OPCs, and oligodendrocytes, less is known about the progenitors that produce them. To identify the developmental origins and transcriptional profiles of motor neurons and OPCs, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on isolated pMN cells from embryonic zebrafish trunk tissue at stages that encompassed motor neurogenesis, OPC specification, and initiation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Downstream analyses revealed two distinct pMN progenitor populations: one that appears to produce neurons and one that appears to produce OPCs. This latter population, called Pre-OPCs, is marked by expression of GS Homeobox 2 (gsx2), a gene that encodes a homeobox transcription factor. Using fluorescent in situ hybridizations, we identified gsx2-expressing Pre-OPCs in the spinal cord prior to expression of canonical OPC marker genes. Our data therefore reveal heterogeneous gene expression profiles among pMN progenitors, supporting prior fate mapping evidence.
