Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Assistant Professor Semir Beyaz (@beyazlab) contributed to a study finding that a fatty acid in popular fish oil supplements may disrupt the brain’s recovery after traumatic injury, potentially increasing the risk of conditions like CTE later in life. https://t.co/l6aVoozxGX

The FDA cleared the Pembro + Taxol ± Bev triplet for CPS ≥1 #platinum-resistant #OvarianCancer . It’s the first real PD-1 survival win in #PROC, but the statistical "fine print" matters more than the headline.
• OS: 18.2 mo vs 14.0 mo (HR = 0.76). This is a robust survival ceiling that held in the ITT population (HR = 0.81).
• PFS: 8.3 mo vs 7.2 mo (HR = 0.72). The absolute gain is a marginal 30 days.
• Safety: 54% Serious Adverse Reactions. You are buying survival with high-octane toxicity.
‼️Statistically, that 1.1-month PFS "win" is a function of a large N, not a transformative effect. We are using a sledgehammer (triplet intensity) to move the stability needle by four weeks. If we use this, we are betting on the OS "tail," not the PFS median.
❇️ Biomarkers are now a dual-track. You need CPS and FR on the desk. If they are FR high, the ADC remains the targeted strike. But for the 72% of patients who are CPS ≥1 and FR low? We have a reason to be aggressive in 2L/3L.

Visualizing gene structures in R? gggenes, an extension of ggplot2, simplifies the process of creating clear and informative gene diagrams, making genomic data easier to interpret and share.
✔️ Plot gene arrows to represent gene locations and orientations.
✔️ Visualize genomic features, including transcripts and operons.
✔️ Customize labels, colors, and layouts for clear presentations.
Whether you're working on genome annotation, comparative genomics, or molecular biology research, gggenes provides a flexible and user-friendly way to display complex gene structures with clarity.

We are proud to announce our latest Public Hub, FUNCODE. FUNCODE (Functional Conservation of DNA Elements) is a computational framework that quantifies functional conservation between human/mouse regulatory elements using ENCODE functional genomics data.
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).”
