    Phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis identifies causal factors for age-related macular degeneration

    Thomas H Julian, Johnathan Cooper-Knock ... Panagiotis I Sergouniotis
    A phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis revealed a causal link between age-related macular degeneration and a number of lipid, complement, immune cell, and serum protein traits, highlighting potential treatment targets.

    Tenotomy-induced muscle atrophy is sex-specific and independent of NFκB

    Gretchen A Meyer, Stavros Thomopoulos ... Karen C Shen
    Blocking an atrophic 'master regulator' pathway following tendon tear does not affect resulting skeletal muscle atrophy.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing confirm mesenchyme to epithelial transformation (MET) contributes to repair of the endometrium at menstruation

    Phoebe M Kirkwood, Douglas A Gibson ... Philippa TK Saunders
    In a mouse model of menstruation stromal cells respond to breakdown of the tissue by changing their identity to become epithelial cells that are incorporated into the luminal epithelium which is rapidly 'healed' without scarring.

    Efficacy of ultra-short, response-guided sofosbuvir and daclatasvir therapy for hepatitis C in a single-arm mechanistic pilot study

    Barnaby Flower, Le Manh Hung ... Graham S Cooke
    Shortened hepatitis C therapy, with retreatment if needed, can reduce antiviral drug use in patients with mild liver disease, but day 2 viral load is not an adequate predictor of outcome.

    Sex and prior exposure jointly shape innate immune responses to a live herpesvirus vaccine

    Foo Cheung, Richard Apps ... Jeffrey I Cohen
    In a study of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) vaccine, the combination of sex and prior exposure to the virus resulted in HSV naive women mounting a prominent type I interferon response associated with reduced neutralizing titers to HSV.

    Is calcium a link between inflammatory bone resorption and heart disease?

    Gordon L Klein
    A mechanism is proposed that allows investigators to study interventions to delay onset of heart disease in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disease with bone loss.

    Cellular features of localized microenvironments in human meniscal degeneration: a single-cell transcriptomic study

    Weili Fu, Sijie Chen ... Xuegong Zhang
    A single-cell transcriptome atlas reveals meniscal microenvironment variations during degeneration and cellular heterogeneity foundations of the inner–outer zone differences, suggesting novel cell subtypes as potential therapeutic targets.

    Meta-Research: The need for more research into reproductive health and disease

    Natalie D Mercuri, Brian J Cox
    An analysis of publications and research grants shows that the volume of research on reproductive organs is much less than that on non-reproductive organs.
