Pleiotropic shared heritability quantifies the shared genetic variance of common diseases

Pleiotropic shared heritability with bias correction (PHBC) estimates the genetic variance of a target disease that is shared with a set of auxiliary diseases. Applying PHBC to diseases in the UK Biobank shows pervasive sharing of genetic etiologies across disease categories.

Temperature and intrinsic Ca2+ reshape TRPM4 pharmacology

Hu et al. show that physiological temperature and intrinsic Ca2+ reprogram TRPM4 pharmacology, revealing hidden ligand activities missed under simplified assay conditions—even at structurally stable sites—and highlighting the need for environment-aware drug discovery.

Sequencing the Two-Toed Sloth Genome Reveals Jumping Genes Tied to Its Extreme Metabolism

Sloths are the slowest mammals on Earth, and their dense jungle habitat has made them notoriously difficult to study. Now, for the first time,...

First-line durvalumab in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan in women with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic, hormone-receptor-negative, HER2-low breast cancer: multicenter, open-label, phase 1b/2 BEGONIA platform trial

In this phase 1/2 BEGONIA platform trial, Schmid and colleagues evaluated the safety and efficacy of durvalumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer with low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.

A New Method Makes Hantavirus Genome Analysis Faster and More Accessible

Hantavirus infections are rare—roughly 30 people are infected in the United States each year—but they are deadly, killing 30 to 40 percent of those...

Intrathecal nivolumab in metastatic solid tumors with leptomeningeal disease: dose escalation part of the multicenter IT-PD1/NOA-26 phase 1 trial

Tabatabai et al. evaluated the safety of intrathecal administration of nivolumab in participants with leptomeningeal disease in the IT-PD1/NOA-26 phase 1 clinical trial.

A New Single-Cell Method Maps DNA-Protein Interactions

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center have developed a new method that maps, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of...

Consensus meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

An updated meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identified 91 risk loci for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias among individuals of European ancestry, of which 56 loci were specifically detected in clinically diagnosed AD cases.

DNA Methylation Study Reveals How Epigenetic Changes Pass Between Generations

DNA methylation is one of the most studied epigenetic modifications, yet its ancestral function in animals and its capacity for transgenerational...

Distinct repair outcomes from single and convergent replication fork collapse

Here the authors show that collapse of single replication forks causes recombination, end fusions or degradation but does not restart DNA synthesis. In contrast, collapse of convergent forks completes DNA synthesis through error-prone double-strand break repair.

Soma-to-germline miRNA inheritance through yolk promotes stress resilience in progeny

In this study, the authors use the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to show that maternal microRNAs are delivered from the intestine to embryos by the yolk, where they regulate gene expression and promote stress resilience in offspring.
