Current landscape of plasma proteomics from technical innovations to biological insights and biomarker discovery - Communications Chemistry
Plasma proteome profiling has surged as a promising avenue for biomarker discovery, yet comprehensive platform comparisons remain scarce. Here, the authors evaluate eight proteomics platforms, revealing key differences and complementary strengths, providing crucial insights for researchers into coverage trade-offs and implicating biomarker discovery and clinical applications.

I have always been a proponent of hypothesis-free testing of metabolite rations: This paper is just great in how it takes it to the next level:

Years ago I asked on Twitter why my heart rate would continue to climb even after I fixed the speed and incline on my treadmill. At the time, no one on Twitter could give me a satisfactory answer.
But now GPT4o was able to answer it and suggested approaches to quantify the phenomenon.

Exposure accumulation drives age-dependent disease architectures and polygenic risk scores
Our understanding of the dependence of the genetic and environmental architecture of common diseases on age is incomplete. Here, we use longitudinal data to quantify age-dependent genetic and environm...

Individual bioenergetic capacity as a potential source of resilience to Alzheimer’s disease - Nature Communications
Bioenergetic capacity, the ability to maintain energy balance under stress, can be monitored using blood acylcarnitine profiles. Improving this capacity may slow Alzheimer’s disease progression.

The most famous heuristic in mapping gwas snps to genes is "it's usually the closest gene".

But only slightly less well-known is this: consider the colocalized phenotypes.

That is, a genetic variant seldom disrupts exactly one phenotype.

What else does tugging on that thread do?
