Asthma is a common complex disease with susceptibility defined through an interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Responsiveness to asthma treatment varies between individuals and is largely determined by genetic variability. The polygenic score (PGS) approach enables an individual risk of asthma and respective response to drug therapy.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by an excess of lipids, mainly triglycerides, in the liver and components of the metabolic syndrome, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. While there is solid epidemiological evidence that MASLD clusters with cardiometabolic disease, several leading genetic risk factors for MASLD do not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, suggesting no causal relationship between MASLD and cardiometabolic derangement. In this work, we leveraged measurements of visceral adiposity identifying 27 previously unknown genetic loci associated with MASLD (n = 36,394), six replicated in four independent cohorts (n = 3,903).

Identifying factors that affect treatment response is a central objective of clinical research, yet the role of common genetic variation remains largely unknown. Here, we develop a framework to study the genetic architecture of response to commonly prescribed drugs in large biobanks. We quantify treatment response heritability for statins, metformin, warfarin, and methotrexate in the UK Biobank.

Potential Targets and Signaling Mechanisms of Cinnamaldehyde Enhancing Intestinal Function and Nutritional Regulation in Fat Greenling ().

Article Synopsis
  • Cinnamaldehyde is a promising feed additive known for its immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, but its specific anti-inflammatory mechanisms in fat greenling fish are not yet fully understood.
  • Researchers identified nine targets of cinnamaldehyde and analyzed over 1,320 proteins related to intestinal inflammation using various databases.
  • The study suggests that cinnamaldehyde may reduce inflammation by regulating specific signaling pathways and proteins, particularly through interactions involving C5aR1 and TLR4, highlighting its potential protective role against intestinal inflammation in fish.
