ABSTRACT Background Genetic clusters related to Type 2 diabetes (T2D) have differential impact on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), although the underlying mechanisms, such as proteomic perturbation, remain unexplored. We conducted a network Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to identify proteomic mediators linking T2D genetic clusters and CVDs.

Aire and Fezf2 Shape the Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cell Immunopeptidome for Central Tolerance
Central tolerance is shaped not merely by promiscuous gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), but by the subset of self‐peptides ultimately presented on MHC class II molecules. We propose a multilayered framework in which AIRE/Aire and FEZF2/Fezf2, together with specialised differentiation programmes—including thymic mimetic‐cell ...

ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Genetic Evaluation for Functional Longevity in Nellore Cattle
ABSTRACT Stayability (STAY) presents limitations in capturing genetic variability among animals with varying calving records up to 76 months of age. Furthermore, because STAY is measured late in life (typically at 6 years of age), it inherently prolongs generation intervals.
