Schizophrenia is a severe and heritable neuropsychiatric disorder, which arises due to a combination of common genetic variation, rare loss of function variation, and copy number variation. Functional genomic evidence has been used to identify candidate genes affected by this variation, which revealed biological pathways that may be disrupted in schizophrenia. Understanding the contributions of these pathways are critical next steps in understanding schizophrenia pathogenesis. A number of genes involved in endocytosis are implicated in schizophrenia. In this review, we explore the history of endosomal trafficking in schizophrenia and highlight new endosomal candidate genes. We explore the function of these candidate genes and hypothesize how their dysfunction may contribute to schizophrenia.

A number of studies demonstrate the therapeutic effectiveness of Radix Bupleuri (RB) and Hedysarum Multijugum Maxim (HMM) in treating liver fibrosis, but the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the mechanism of RB-HMM drug pairs in treating liver fibrosis by using network pharmacology, bioinformatics, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation technology and in vitro experiments. Totally, 155 intersection targets between RB-HMM and liver fibrosis were identified.

The traditional Chinese medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris contains numerous triterpene saponin metabolites, notably ursolic and oleanolic acid saponins, which have significant pharmacological values. Despite their importance, the genes responsible for synthesizing these triterpene saponins in P. vulgaris remain unidentified.

Background: Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease with disabling consequences, the early diagnosis of which is difficult due to its long and hidden course, which often leads to diagnosis only after a fracture. In this regard, great expectations are placed on advanced developments in machine learning technologies aimed at predicting osteoporosis at an early stage of development, including the use of large data sets containing information on genetic and clinical predictors of the disease. Nevertheless, the inclusion of DNA markers in prediction models is fraught with a number of difficulties due to the complex polygenic and heterogeneous nature of the disease.
