Does lower educational attainment increase the risk of osteoarthritis surgery? a Swedish twin study
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Background Previous studies have reported an inverse association between educational attainment and different osteoarthritis (OA) outcomes. However, none of the previous studies have accounted for potential confounding by early-life environment and ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Disconnection-mediated twin embryo growth in Mg [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 While deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed metals has been widely studied due to its substantial impact on mechanical properties, an understanding of the detailed atomic processes associated with twin embryo growth is still lacking. Conducting molecular dynamics simulations on Mg, we show that the propagation of twinning disconnections ...

Variations on twins in permutations [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Let $\pi$ be a permutation of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. Two disjoint order-isomorphic subsequences of $\pi$ are called twins. How long twins are contained in every permutation? The well known Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem implies that there is always a pair of twins of length $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$.

Role of axial twin boundaries on deformation mechanisms in Cu nanopillars [PDF]
, 2019 In recent years, twinned nanopillars have attracted tremendous attention for research due to their superior mechanical properties. However, most of the studies were focused on nanopillars with twin boundaries (TBs) perpendicular to loading direction. Nanopillars with TBs parallel to loading direction have received minimal interest.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Variability in the heritability of body mass index: a systematic review and meta-regression
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 Evidence for a major role of genetic factors in the determination of body mass index (BMI) comes from studies of related individuals. However, heritability estimates for BMI vary widely between studies and the reasons for this remain unclear.

A Comprehensive Neuropsychiatric Study of Elderly Twins: The Older Australian Twins Study
Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2009 AbstractThe Older Australian Twins Study (OATS) was recently initiated to investigate genetic and environmental factors and their associations and interactions in healthy brain ageing and ageing-related neurocognitive disorders. The study extends the classic MZ-DZ design to include one or two equivalently aged siblings for each twin pair and utilizes ...
