The RNA-binding protein BICC1 can act as a genetic disease modifier for kidney cyst formation, potentially explaining the high variability of disease onset and severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.
A comprehensive single-cell atlas of AML uncovers regulatory networks and age-dependent molecular differences to advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and enable subtype-specific therapeutic strategies.

Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.
Excitatory recurrent synapses in the upper pyramidal layer of the prefrontal cortex exhibit delayed short-term facilitation, despite very high vesicular fusion probability, through synaptotagmin 7-dependent overfilling of release sites.

A novel behavioural task that measures and manipulates subjective control in humans reveals that experimentally heightened feelings of control buffer against the negative impact of subsequent stress.
Drug repurposing analyses show that citalopram exerts anti-tumor effects by targeting C5aR1 on tumor-associated macrophages to enhance phagocytosis and CD8+ T cell immunity.
