Thanks @josepjulve for associating us with this review revisiting #atherosclerosis through an immunometabolic lens, highlighting how cholesterol-lowering therapies modulate immune metabolism and inflammation @I2mcT@INSPIREPlatfor1 https://t.co/1hzDxrY8fa #mdpijcm via @JCM_MDPI
Our last paper Is out! We identify plasma apolipoproteins J and L1 as novel determinants of steatohepatitis (MASH) in individuals with obesity — both improving diagnostic accuracy beyond traditional risk factors. #MASH@INSPIREPlatfor1@I2mcT https://t.co/xTman3gDqs

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).”

The time to think and inquire are precious.
Inquiring means to contemplate a problem without needing an immediate answer, to sit in the unknown long enough that different kinds of answers emerge. Important part of the process of discovery.
