Livestock abortion surveillance can capture valuable information on important livestock pathogens, including those that are zoonotic and with epidemic potential, revealing importance of timely collection of diagnostic samples for attribution.

A new online data analysis platform, Mendelian Randomization for Alzheimer’s Disease (MRAD), enables the identification of risk or protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease.

Live imaging and single-cell sequencing analyses on zebrafish models revealed that noncaloric monosaccharides and glucose similarly induce excessive blood vessel formation due to endothelial cells' increased formation of tip cells.

Antigenic drift in influenza’s major surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, contributes to variability in epidemic magnitude across seasons but is less influential than subtype interference in shaping annual outbreaks.

Genomic differences in stroke and its comorbid conditions can aid in refining the socio-economic interpretation of risk among different ethnicities and can assist in distinguishing their phenotypic variation.

The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.

The competing mortality risk from cancer itself overshadows any increase in COVID-19 mortality risk due to cancer.

Younger age at diagnosis of breast cancer was associated with higher risks of incident myocardial infarction and heart failure.
