Check out this new study from Mass General Brigham researchers in @ajpathology.bsky.social!

Pinpointing the exact noncoding variants driving locus-disease associations is an enduring challenge. Using MPRA, a @jacksonlab.bsky.social, Broad & @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social team tested >220,000 variants in 5 cell types, resolving >13,000 and revealing mechanisms behind several disease traits.

The same genetic variants that heighten the risk of autoimmune hypothyroidism — the most common autoimmune disorder — may also lower cancer risk, according to a new study led by scientists at Broad, @helsinki.fi, and @mgbresearch.bsky.social. broad.io/AIHT-news

New research shines a light on why long-term relapse happens in alcohol use disorder, even after a year or more of sustained remission. Read the full press release to learn how this work can change the way we think about relapse prevention: www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/new...

New publication on how researchers created AI-designed DNA ⤵️

A long engaging and amazing journey for me in Kidney Genetics !!

In a new Cell Reports study, we examine a specific antibody family elicited by early COVID-19 vaccination and show how antibody maturation and binding diversity can allow some antibodies to remain effective against later variants, including Omicron. mgriblog.org/science-insi...

A new @natgenet.nature.com study by Broad, @mgbresearch.bsky.social, and VA Boston collaborators reveals a genetic variant that helps explain the high dilated cardiomyopathy risk in people of African ancestry.

Great summary from the @mgbresearch.bsky.social team on our new Science paper about ENS–immune system interactions! Check it out: www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/new...

In a new study, @shuimd.bsky.social and her colleagues in neonatology used electrical impedance technology (EIT) for a precision approach to optimize ventilator settings in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
