    Higher UV levels linked to lower heart and cancer deaths

    In US regional data, higher ambient UV was linked to lower mortality, with modelled attributable burdens of 5.1% fewer cardiovascular and 8.8% fewer cancer deaths.In US regional data, higher ambient UV was linked to lower mortality, with modelled attributable burdens of 5.1% fewer cardiovascular and 8.8% fewer cancer deaths.

    Wearable patch matched artery signals with high accuracy

    In experiments with 110 participants, the patch achieved 96.14% waveform similarity to medical-grade equipment without needing calibration for each person.In experiments with 110 participants, the patch achieved 96.14% waveform similarity to medical-grade equipment without needing calibration for each person.

    Higher neuroticism links to broad disease risks in Chinese adults

    In 25,041 Chinese adults, high neuroticism scores were linked to 1.17- to 1.81-fold higher risks of major physical and mental conditions compared to low scores.In 25,041 Chinese adults, high neuroticism scores were linked to 1.17- to 1.81-fold higher risks of major physical and mental conditions compared to low scores.

    SATB1 loss reshapes 3D genome in mouse naive T cells

    Diminished SATB1 in murine naive CD4⁺ T cells weakens TAD boundaries, rewires enhancer-promoter interactions, and increases proinflammatory gene expression during aging.Diminished SATB1 in murine naive CD4⁺ T cells weakens TAD boundaries, rewires enhancer-promoter interactions, and increases proinflammatory gene expression during aging.

    Benzene exposure links to higher thyroid dysfunction risk

    Each 1 μg/m³ increase in ambient benzene was linked to hazard ratios of 1.19 for hypothyroidism and 1.21 for hyperthyroidism.Each 1 μg/m³ increase in ambient benzene was linked to hazard ratios of 1.19 for hypothyroidism and 1.21 for hyperthyroidism.

    Aging limits cortical network recovery after stroke in mice

    In 3-month-old and 18-month-old mice with experimental stroke, aged animals failed to regain somatomotor functional connectivity and behavioral performance.In 3-month-old and 18-month-old mice with experimental stroke, aged animals failed to regain somatomotor functional connectivity and behavioral performance.

    Clonal hematopoiesis remodels human bone marrow into an inflammatory prefibrotic environment

    Single-cell and spatial profiling revealed expanded fibroblasts and localized hubs of inflammation driven by tumor necrosis factor and transforming growth factor-beta…Single-cell and spatial profiling revealed expanded fibroblasts and localized hubs of inflammation driven by tumor necrosis factor and transforming growth factor-beta signaling.

    Combined inflammatory-metabolic index tracks stroke risk

    Participants in the highest tertile of the combined CTI-CVAI index had a 2.14-fold higher stroke risk than those in the lowest tertile.Participants in the highest tertile of the combined CTI-CVAI index had a 2.14-fold higher stroke risk than those in the lowest tertile.
