The Changing Epidemiology of Type 1 Diabetes: A Global Perspective
Abstract The prevalence of type 1 diabetes is increasing, with significant implications for public health systems worldwide. This review provides a global overview of the current epidemiology of type 1 diabetes, examining the trends, risk factors, and regional variations in incidence.

Mothers Do Matter: New Evidence on the Effect of Parents' Schooling on Children's Schooling Using Swedish Twin Data [PDF]
Behrman and Rosenzweig (2002) used data on a small sample of MZ (monozygotic, identical) twin parents and their children to show that father's schooling is more important than mother's schooling for children's schooling in the U.S.

Nature or Nurture? A Note on the Misinterpreted Twin Decomposition [PDF]
The classical twin model has often been used to determine whether variation in outcomes such IQ, schooling and other behavioral traits, originate from genetic endowments or environmental factors.

Background Infants vary significantly in the way they process and respond to sensory stimuli, and altered sensory processing has been reported among infants later diagnosed with autism. Previous work with adolescents and adults suggests that variability in sensory processing may have a strong genetic basis.

Two's company: Monozygotic twinning in the small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)
Abstract Developmental abnormalities in elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are rarely documented, with reported cases primarily involving fin or cranial deformities. Monozygotic twinning, the formation of identical twins from a single zygote, is particularly rare in these species and has been observed overwhelmingly in viviparous elasmobranchs.

Heritability of sleep architecture based on home polysomnography
Summary We aimed to establish the heritability of polysomnography measures through the analysis of home polysomnography recordings from 648 participants in the Baependi Heart Study, a rural, family‐based, genetically admixed cohort based in the southeast of Brazil.

Nature, Nurture and Egalitarian Policy: What Can We Learn from Molecular Genetics? [PDF]
This brief paper draws attention to molecular genetic research which may provide a new dimension to our understanding of how socioeconomic outcomes are generated. In particular, we provide an overview of the recently emerging evidence of gene-environment

Redefining the Immunobiology of Organ Transplantation for New Clinical Horizons
ABSTRACT Traditional organ transplantation relies on the Self–Non‐self (SNS) model of immunity, focusing on donor–recipient compatibility and aggressive immunosuppression to prevent acute rejection. Although effective early, this strategy does not prevent chronic rejection and cannot account for operational tolerance, failure of perfectly HLA‐matched ...

Updated insights into the molecular pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent relapses. The genomics revolution has greatly contributed and revolutionised our knowledge of human AD; understanding the molecular skin fingerprint of AD and associated pathogenic immune pathways has led to preclinical assessments of several novel ...
