Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

This study examined the relative contributions of modifiable risk factors to cardiovascular diseases in adults with hypertension. More favorable risk factor profiles were consistently associated with lower risks across all outcomes. Beyond blood pressure, nicotine exposure showed comparatively larger population attributable fractions.

Abstract Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems found in diverse bacteria play important roles in their adaptation to changing environments. The toxin of the Fic‐1–AntF TA pair from Pseudomonas bijieensis strain 2P24 inhibits bacterial DNA replication by attacking the subunit B of DNA gyrase (GyrB) via AMPylation, while the antitoxin AntF blocks its enzymatic ...
