Loneliness linked to ill health through effect on protein levels, research suggests theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

A paper in Nature Aging identifies 13 proteins linked to brain aging in humans. Changes in the concentrations of these blood proteins may peak at 57, 70, and 78 years old. go.nature.com/3ZvGLSy

Preprint on brain aging. From single timepoint data, estimate if delta reflects subject-varying aging rates vs baseline variations. For common analyses, baseline effects tend to dominate, whereas multiple aging modes show a range of results. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In response to a recent Guardian article about why approved researchers in China can access our data, we've provided some additional information for our participants, including how we follow Government guidance on who can use UK Biobank. Please read: ow.ly/m4x050VAIzp

Overall, another great paper from the Alkes group at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Here are some of the co-authors I could find on twitter: Ben Strober Gaspard.kerner JohnDanesh Wei Cheng Xilin Jiang Link to pre-print: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now online - - had great fun thinking about this with colleagues from Shanghai! nature.com/articles/s4422… "brain-based heterogeneity is not a static feature; it is more pronounced at the onset of the disorder but reduced over the long term"

In this study, Chen et al. use UK Biobank data to reveal a dietary pattern associated with a lower risk of dementia, and validate this in additional cohorts. nature.com/articles/s4156…
