Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

A Rare RIPK3 Variant Enhances Necroptosis and Promotes Inflammation in a Still Disease–Like Autoinflammatory Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease represents a prototypical polygenic systemic autoinflammatory disease, characterized by recurrent systemic inflammation and dysregulation of innate immunity. Despite extensive clinical characterization, familial clustering Still disease remains unreported.

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

The American College of Rheumatology Updated Recommended Methods for Development of Disease Classification and Response Criteria

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Disease classification criteria and response criteria are important tools in the conduct of observational studies and clinical trials for rheumatic diseases. This paper updates methodologic guidance for classification and response criteria funded, developed and/or endorsed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), incorporating contemporary ...

Genetic and population analyses implicate thyroid‐related regulation of RNF144B in chondrocalcinosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Chondrocalcinosis, characterized by calcium crystal deposition within articular cartilage, affects 5–15% of the general population and has recently been identified as an osteoarthritis risk factor. However, Its biological pathways remain unclear.

Complement Activation Linked to Type II Interferon Signaling in Still Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by innate immune dysregulation. Although complement can drive inflammation, its involvement in SD remains to be defined. Thus, we aimed to assess complement activation in SD. Methods Complement was assessed using transcriptomic, proteomic, and in vitro approaches. RNA sequencing

Exploring the potential of cluster analysis in identifying disease phenotypes in CPPD: Moving from intuition to insight

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is a heterogeneous condition and is frequently misdiagnosed due to the different clinical presentations and variable disease progression. Aim of this study is to identify clinical phenotypes of CPPD disease by integrating real‐world data from two datasets. Methods Data from the COLCHICORT trial
