Fine-grain mobility data empirically quantify the propensity for human mixing to be indoors across the US and improve understanding of the relationship between the physical environment and infection risk in light of global change.

A novel Mendelian randomisation framework unravels one gene expression component, correlated with proliferation and genome stability-related features, associated with telomere length in lung adenocarcinoma tumours, which provides insights into how telomere length influences the genetic basis of lung cancer aetiology.

Serum antibodies induced by CoronaVac tended to decrease over time, even though vaccinated with the homologous booster dose, and Delta and Omicron variants may be able to more efficiently evade the antibodies with time.

A third dose of the inactivated vaccine CoronaVac fails to stimulate the production of neutralizing antibodies which target the Omicron variant.

The H3N2 canine influenza virus – which originally came from birds – is evolving to become more transmissible between dogs.

The link between height and cognitive assessment scores substantially weakened from 1957 to 2018.

Modelled estimates for changes in cancer incidence, staging, and demand on health services are presented for a range of potential COVID-related disruptions to national population screening programmes for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer, indicating markedly different impacts for each programme.

Elimination of extreme reporters using Goldberg cutoffs does not always produce unbiased estimates of associations between nutrition intakes and health outcomes.

The ABO and RhD blood groups are associated with disease-wide susceptibility differences.
