The ULK3 kinase is a determinant of keratinocyte self-renewal and tumorigenesis targeting the arginine methylome

Sandro Goruppi et al.

Summary: ULK3 loss impairs the recruitment of PRMT1 and PRMT5, resulting in suppressed tumorigenic potential of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells. Downregulation of ULK3 inhibits SCC cell proliferation and promotes differentiation. This study sheds light on a potential therapeutic target for SCC.

Prenatal exposure to nitrofurantoin and risk of childhood leukaemia: a registry-based cohort study in four Nordic countries

Sarah Hjorth et al.

Summary: This multinational study investigated the association between prenatal nitrofurantoin exposure and childhood leukaemia, and found that there was no substantial association, although a slightly elevated incidence rate ratio (IRR) with confidence intervals including the null was observed. The lack of a dose-response relationship and a clear biological mechanism suggests against a causal association.

Tau in the Pathophysiology of Parkinson's Disease

Lina Pan et al.

Summary: The pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease include the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy bodies in remaining neurons. In addition to alpha-Syn, Tau, associated with tauopathies like Alzheimer's disease, has also been found to play a role in the pathophysiology of PD. Understanding the structure and function of Tau may provide new targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Actionable druggable genome-wide Mendelian randomization identifies repurposing opportunities for COVID-19

Liam Gaziano et al.

Summary: Large-scale Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses using gene expression and soluble protein data identified IFNAR2 and ACE2 as promising therapeutic targets for early management of COVID-19. Repurposing drugs offers a rapid solution to address the urgent need for therapeutic interventions against COVID-19.

Large-scale cis- and trans-eQTL analyses identify thousands of genetic loci and polygenic scores that regulate blood gene expression

Urmo Vosa et al.

Summary: Genetic variants associated with traits primarily affect complex phenotypes through regulatory mechanisms on the transcriptome. Most genes show cis-eQTL effects, while distal trans-eQTL effects have lower replication rates. However, single-cell RNA-seq data prioritize intracellular trans-eQTL effects mediated by transcription factors. Additionally, a subset of genes correlated with polygenic scores for various phenotypes may serve as potential drivers for those traits.
