Using genetics, it is possible to uncouple higher adiposity from its adverse metabolic effects and show that some obesity-associated conditions may benefit from treating the metabolic effects alone, whilst others may benefit more from weight loss.

Height in early adulthood is an indicator that integrates across different dimensions of sustainable human development with links to health and longevity, nutrition, education and economic productivity.

Urinary metabolic signatures relate to adherence to the Mediterranean diet and ultra-processed food intake in childhood and reflect associations of these diet quality indicators with metabolic health.

Increasing levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are associated with decreasing risk of cerebral malaria, but with increased risk of severe malarial anaemia.

Extensive field studies in poison frogs reveal that sex and species differences in parental behavior drive differences in space use patterns but not navigational performance and highlight the interplay between androgen levels and poison frog spatial behavior.

The rapid and gradual fin whale songs changes adopted by individuals of a certain area provide evidence of vocal learning in this species, elucidate patterns of song evolution and hints on the limits of song variation.

A comprehensive genome scan of 18,000 multi-ethnic individuals with 3-dimensional facial images highlighted multiple face-associated genetic loci for which regulatory activities in human neural cells were established.

Patients exposed to ⍺1-AR antagonists have reduced risks of mechanical ventilation and death in lower respiratory tract infection-related illnesses, highlighting the need for prospective trials assessing ⍺1-AR antagonists' effectiveness in COVID-19.

Mendelian randomization suggests the possibility that the observational effects of obesity and related metabolic traits in head and neck cancer risk are overestimated.

Newly developed, highly active CRISPR interference single guide RNA libraries and effectors together enable high-quality genetic screens across cell models.
