A cyclical switch of gametogenic pathways in hybrids depends on the ploidy level

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The cellular and molecular mechanisms governing sexual reproduction are conserved across eukaryotes. Nevertheless, hybridization can disrupt these mechanisms, leading to asexual reproduction, often accompanied by polyploidy. In this study, we investigate

Identification and analyses of exonic and copy number variants in spastic paraplegia

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hereditary spastic paraplegias are a diverse group of degenerative disorders that are clinically categorized as isolated; with involvement of lower limb spasticity, or symptomatic, where spastic paraplegia is complicated by further neurological features.

Effects of epigenetic age acceleration on kidney function: a Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesClinical Epigenetics, 2023
Background Previous studies have reported cross-sectional associations between measures of epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) and kidney function phenotypes. However, the temporal and potentially causal relationships between these variables remain unclear.

The basic principles underlying Mendelian randomization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Fig 1A is the three assumptions for Mendelian randomization analysis. Fig 1B is the basic principles of bi-directional Mendelian randomization. SNP is the single nucleotide polymorphism and IV is the instrumental variable.

The effect of FTO variation on increased osteoarthritis risk is mediated through body mass index: a mendelian randomisation study [PDF]

open access: yes
ObjectiveVariation in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene influences susceptibility to obesity. A variant in the FTO gene has been implicated in genetic risk to osteoarthritis (OA).

Human papilloma virus infection drives unique metabolic and immune profiles in head and neck and cervical cancers: implications for targeted therapies and prognostic markers

open access: yesDiscover Oncology
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a key driver of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC). Yet, these cancers exhibit distinct molecular and clinical features influenced by HPV status. This study utilizes RNA
