Translational informatics in personalized medicine: an update for 2014.

Published: May 2014

Many things have changed but much has remained the same as we have seen a dramatic increase in the generation of genetics, genomics and a variety of clinical data leading to increased data density and continued challenges in organizing and managing that data in pursuit of personalized medicine. Simultaneously, we have seen an increase in commercial and open-source solutions, and marked movement toward open sharing of tools and data in public-private partnerships, yet still few examples of traditional companion diagnostics for personalized medicine products. Most encouraging are examples of focused public and private efforts that have resulted in knowledge leading to critical assessment of existing therapies and the development of new therapies. These examples lay highly emulatable informatics foundations for rapid advances in personalized medicine.

Neighborhood opportunity and residential instability: associations with mental health in middle childhood.

J Child Psychol Psychiatry

January 2025

Epidemiology Branch, Division of Population Health Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Background: Neighborhood quality may contribute to child mental health, but families with young children often move, and residential instability has also been tied to adverse mental health. This study's primary goal was to disentangle the effects of neighborhood quality from those of residential instability on mental health in middle childhood.

Methods: 1,946 children from 1,652 families in the Upstate KIDS cohort from New York state, US, were followed prospectively from birth to age 10.

Background: The accurate and prompt diagnosis of infections is essential for improving patient outcomes and preventing bacterial drug resistance. Host gene expression profiling as an approach to infection diagnosis holds great potential in assisting early and accurate diagnosis of infection.

Methods: To improve the precision of infection diagnosis, we developed InfectDiagno, a rank-based ensemble machine learning algorithm for infection diagnosis via host gene expression patterns.

Precision, or personalized, medicine aims to stratify patients based on variable pathogenic signatures to optimize the effectiveness of disease prevention and treatment. This approach is favorable in the context of brain disorders, which are often heterogeneous in their pathophysiological features, patterns of disease progression and treatment response, resulting in limited therapeutic standard-of-care. Here we highlight the transformative role that human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural models are poised to play in advancing precision medicine for brain disorders, particularly emerging innovations that improve the relevance of hiPSC models to human physiology.

Liquid biopsy is gaining importance in oncology in the age of precision medicine. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), among other tumor-derived indicators, are isolated and analysed from bodily fluids. EVs are secreted by both healthy and cancerous cells and are lipid bilayer-enclosed particles that are diverse in size and molecular makeup.
