The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog: knowledgebase and deposition resource

Elliot Sollis et al.

Summary: The NHGRI-EBIGWAS Catalog is a knowledgebase that provides comprehensive and standardized genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. By updating software, expanding the scope of the database, and increasing community outreach, the catalog has improved the quality and quantity of data, as well as enhanced interoperability with other resources.

The genetics of obesity: from discovery to biology

Ruth J. F. Loos et al.

Summary: In this review, Loos and Yeo summarize our current understanding of the genetic underpinnings of monogenic and polygenic obesity, highlighting shared genetic and biological underpinnings between the two forms of obesity. Genome-wide association studies with increasing sample sizes have driven recent discoveries, with post-GWAS collaborations facilitating translation of genetic loci into meaningful biology and new treatment avenues.

NF-κB Regulation by Gut Microbiota Decides Homeostasis or Disease Outcome During Ageing

Shuning Zhang et al.

Summary: Human beings and their indigenous microbial communities have developed co-evolutionary mechanisms of communication and cooperation. The gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in regulating the interaction between the host and gut microbiota, with the transcription factor NF-kappa B playing a key role in host response to microbial cues.

Genomics and bioinformatics capacity in Africa: no continent is left behind

Gerald Mboowa et al.

Summary: Despite the limited genomics research capacity in Africa, efforts are being made through the H3Africa Consortium to empower African scientists to engage in genomics research and improve the health of African populations. Additionally, organizations such as the African Society for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology are working to establish capacity for bioinformatics and genomics research in Africa.

The Multiple Faces of Integrin-ECM Interactions in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Valentina Garlatti et al.

Summary: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing intestinal disease characterized by fibrosis leading to narrowing and closure of the intestine. Integrins play a crucial role in the treatment of IBD by regulating immune cell function and extracellular matrix signaling. Understanding integrin signaling in the context of IBD may provide insights into mechanisms of matrix remodeling independent of inflammation.

Revisiting maternal and child undernutrition in low-income and middle-income countries: variable progress towards an unfinished agenda

Cesar G. Victora et al.

Summary: Despite progress in reducing childhood stunting globally, low-income countries still face challenges with stunting and wasting. Data on women's micronutrient status is lacking, and anemia prevalence remains high among women.

Accurate imputation of human leukocyte antigens with CookHLA

Seungho Cook et al.

Summary: CookHLA, a novel HLA imputation method, utilizes locally embedded prediction markers to adaptively impute HLA genes across various scenarios with high accuracy. Benchmarking with real datasets demonstrates its superior imputation accuracy even in scenarios with small reference panels or ethnically unmatched populations.

Adaptation of the small intestine to microbial enteropathogens in Zambian children with stunting

Beatrice Amadi et al.

Summary: Environmental enteropathy contributes to growth faltering in children in Africa and South Asia. However, as children age, microbial translocation from the gut to the bloodstream decreases, despite ongoing damage to the intestines and sustained pathogen pressure.

Gene expression profiles compared in environmental and malnutrition enteropathy in Zambian children and adults

Paul Kelly et al.

Summary: RNA sequencing of duodenal biopsies from children with environmental enteropathy (EE) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) revealed dysregulation in gene expression related to immune response, barrier function, and xenobiotic metabolism/detoxification. SAM cohort showed distinct transcriptional features with higher induction of immune response and lower expression of genes associated with intestinal structure/transport/absorption compared to adults and children with non-responsive stunting. Further research is needed to understand the intestinal capacity to metabolize drugs and toxins in malnourished children.

The Extracellular Matrix in Skin Inflammation and Infection

Karin Pfisterer et al.

Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a crucial component in tissue homeostasis and repair, with functions beyond providing physical stability. It actively supports the dynamic interactions within tissues and immune cells, while also being exploited by pathogens for infection and linked to genetic conditions. Understanding the composition, structure, and function of ECM is key to comprehending its broader impact on human health.
