Genome‐wide DNA methylation study reveals specific signatures in the affected arterial tissue of giant cell arteritis patients
Objectives Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large-vessel vasculitis, potentially causing complications such as blindness and strokes. This study aims to gain insights into the pathogenesis of GCA by ...

New paper just out (online first) in Arthritis & Rheumatology! 🎉
We mapped the epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) in GCA-affected arteries. Largest cohort to date; findings point to new pathways relevant to disease mechanisms 🧵

Miles de científicos hinchan su currículum con estudios autopublicados que cuestan millones de euros de dinero público
Un análisis de 100.000 números especiales de revistas académicas revela que uno de cada ocho está lleno de artículos de autobombo del propio editor, sobre todo en la editorial MDPI

1/ Women scheduled surgery after being told they had rare BRCA1 variants.
The genetic test was wrong.
University of Exeter analyzed 50,000 samples to find out how often this happens.
The results should worry anyone who's downloaded their 23andMe raw data.

Descubren señales moleculares en el ADN que explican la inflamación crónica de las arterias a partir de los 50 años
El @ipblncsic.bsky.social identifica también células inmunitarias “agotadas” que podrían explicar por qué la inflamación persiste en la arteritis de células gigantes

Our new study in Nature Genetics including 9 disease and 7 biobanks shows:
• Susceptibility variants ≠ survival
• PRSs for onset weak at predicting progression
• Lifespan PRS predicts survival better
