🇫🇷 À Toulouse, la chercheuse Vera Pancaldi utilise l’intelligence artificielle pour mieux comprendre le cancer du pancréas, l’un des plus complexes et résistants aux traitements. Son travail consiste à analyser d’immenses données biologiques afin d’identifier de nouvelles pistes thérapeutiques et améliorer la prise en charge des patients. ���� (France Bleu)

I was surprised to hear @DoctorChrisVT say “the whole idea that you can burn more calories by doing exercise was funded, if not by Coca Cola, then by the soft drinks industry”

If we look at thousands of proteins (i.e., signals) in the human blood, the protein most associated with chronic physical and mental illnesses is the **same protein** as the top marker for mitochondrial diseases: GDF15
When mitochondria cannot flux energy properly, the cell makes and secretes GDF15 in the blood to alert other cells
Some highlight by Cynthia Liu in our group:
- GDF15 is the top predictor for most diseases
- GDF15 associated with diabetes is among the most significant protein-prevalent disease associations
Based on p-value, GDF15 was most significantly associated with disease.
- “GDF15 was associated with the most diseases, containing 205 prevalent and 397 incident diseases, generally acting as a risk factor except for three incident diseases (respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium, disorders of magnesium metabolism, and peripheral artery disease).”
- “GDF15, similar to its high ranking with protein-disease pleiotropy, ranked second for protein-trait associations, boasting a substantial 428 associations.”Significant associations with many lipid metabolite markers.
- Mental disorders like anxiety disorders, depression, and mood disorders, along with mental health-related traits, also exhibited substantial proteomic signatures including elevated GDF15
- “The fluid intelligence score and various types of dementia shared significant proteins such as NEFL and GDF15 (Figure 2G)”
- “GDF15, the protein with pleiotropic effects, was causally associated with several autoimmune diseases, including ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis (Figure 6B).”
