Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. However, the genetic pathophysiology remains under investigation. Through multi-omics Mendelian Randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses, we identified mitochondrial-related genes causally linked with T2DM and its complications.

- Exhausted CD8 T cells and tumor-associated macrophages are important for understanding how cancer affects patients and how well immunotherapy works.
- In thyroid cancer, researchers found that the more exhausted the CD8 T cells were, the worse the patient's prognosis was, and they divided patients into two groups based on this exhaustion.
- By analyzing specific genes, they created a risk score (ERGS) that can help predict how patients will do and how well they might respond to immunotherapy, and they identified certain immune cells that might make treatment less effective.
Heavy metal pollution is a serious global environmental problem as it adversely affects plant growth and genetic variation. It also alters the composition and activity of soil microbial communities. The objectives of this study were to determine the soil microbial diversity, bermudagrass genetic variation in Cd contaminated or uncontaminated soils from Hunan province of China, and to evaluate Cd-tolerance of bermudagrass at different soils.
