How physiology solves the gene‐centric impasse
Abstract The criteria for distinguishing between association and causation in studies of genes and function are clarified. Genomic association scores alone cannot satisfy those criteria, which is why treatment of common diseases has not benefitted from the cures expected when the Human Genome Project was launched.

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

Abstract figure legend We used an intersectional approach with recombinase‐expressing mice and adeno‐associated virus to map and modulate distinct nociceptive afferents in the vagal ganglia. TRPV1+P2X2+ neurons resided in the nodose ganglion (N), innervated the lungs (many projected into the alveoli) but not the trachea, and projected to the nucleus ...

Efficient pre‐colonoscopy risk stratification tools are needed, especially in China. Using multicenter colorectal cancer screening data from Shandong Province, the authors developed and validated a risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals using sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and medical ...
