Laypeople's Views on the Narrative Identity and Societal Treatment of Genetically Modified People

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 472-481, June 2026.

Changes in sleep patterns in adolescents are more associated with pubertal indicators than age: A perfect storm with a dash of hormones

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 437-453, June 2026.
Abstract As they become older, adolescents tend to prefer sleeping and rising later. Yet, it is still unclear if these sleep changes occur due to advancing age or because adolescents are more pubertally mature. This was investigated cross‐sectionally in a sample of 121 Brazilian 9‐to‐17‐year‐olds.

A genetic risk score based on BCL11A and HBS1L‐MYB variants predicts clinical severity in Brazilian sickle cell anaemia patients

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 208, Issue 6, Page 2203-2211, June 2026.
Summary Individuals with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) exhibit significant clinical heterogeneity influenced by several factors, especially fetal haemoglobin (HbF) levels. Variations in adult HbF levels are partly explained by the co‐inheritance of genetic variants that regulate globin expression.
