The causal impact of smoking behavior on osteoarthritis: a Mendelian randomization analysis
ObjectiveAlthough smoking and osteoarthritis (OA) have been linked in a number of studies, the exact cause of the association is still unknown and the conclusion is controversial. The purpose of this study was to use Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis

This study explores how sepsis affects GC progression by creating an immunosuppressive environment. Our findings reveal that sepsis promotes immune dysregulation, enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. Targeting the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway with monoclonal antibodies shows potential for restoring immune function and improving outcomes in cancer patients ...

Contribution of Rare and Common APOE Variants to Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Spanish Cohort
Our aim was to determine whether rare APOE pathogenic variants (PV) and the common e2/e3/e4 polymorphism were associated with the risk of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

VASP was found to be overexpressed in metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues. Notably, PTTG1‐ and VASP‐deficient OSCC cells demonstrated suppressed metastatic properties by disrupting the interaction between the cytoskeleton and focal adhesion (FAs) in the filopodia region.

Implications of self-identified race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry on genetic association studies in biobanks within health systems [PDF]
Precision medicine aims to create biomedical solutions tailored to specific factors that affect disease risk and treatment responses within the population. The success of the genomics era and recent widespread availability of electronic health records (EHR) has ushered in a new wave of genomic biobanks connected to EHR databases (EHR-linked biobanks ...

Consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1‐4) have been identified to study colorectal cancer heterogeneity and serve as potential biomarkers. In this study, we developed and evaluated NanoCMSer, a NanoString‐based classifier using 55 genes, optimized for FF and FFPE to facilitate the clinical evaluation of CMS subtyping.
