Arthritis Rheumatol. 2025 Jul 16. doi: 10.1002/art.43315. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) frequently exhibit antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), but the specific antigen target recognized by them and the presence of additional autoantibody specificities in patients with JIA remains elusive. METHODS: Plasma samples from 110…

Environ Int. 2025 Sep 3;203:109779. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2025.109779. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been identified as diabetogens and potential epigenetic regulators. Epigenetic variation is implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is therefore a potential mechanism linking PCB exposure and T2D. We here investigate…

Mol Psychiatry. 2025 Sep 6. doi: 10.1038/s41380-025-03203-w. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, show potential as biological markers and mechanisms underlying gene-environment interplay in the prediction of mental health and other brain-based phenotypes. However, little is known about how peripheral epigenetic patterns relate to individual…

Eur J Ageing. 2025 Aug 7;22(1):40. doi: 10.1007/s10433-025-00876-8. ABSTRACT The transition to retirement has been shown to be accompanied by increased sleep duration and improved sleep quality. In addition, some studies suggest accelerated decline in cognitive function in post-retirement years. However, less is known about their interconnectedness. The aim of…

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Sleep and physical activity (PA) are important lifestyle-related behaviors that impact cardiometabolic health. This study investigated the joint associations of daily step count and sleep patterns (regularity and duration) with cardiometabolic biomarkers in adults. METHODS:…

Nat Med. 2025 Jul 21. doi: 10.1038/s41591-025-03827-z. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Polygenic scores (PGSs) for body mass index (BMI) may guide early prevention and targeted treatment of obesity. Using genetic data from up to 5.1 million people (4.6% African ancestry, 14.4% American ancestry, 8.4% East Asian ancestry, 71.1% European…
