La respuesta ciudadana, pacífica y firme contra la provocación fascista que hemos vivido esta tarde, ante la provocación de desokupa contra la presentación del libro de Irene Montero, marca el camino para hacer frente de manera cívica al fascismo. Ni un paso atrás.

A study published in #BMCPublicHealth finds that increasing age is related to an increase in the incidence of depression through a decrease in physical activity and an increase in sleep-inducing medication use. bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

In every civilization, people end up sorted into levels of socio-economic status (SES). We explore the history, present, and future of scientific research on the complicated relationship between SES and DNA in Nature Human Behaviour 💰🧬🎓 Link: rdcu.be/efacK Thread below 👇🏽

🧠 New paper out! This work quantifies “biological brain age” from structural MRI in healthy mid-lifers and examines which CSF pathways modulate it—bridging imaging, biomarkers and machine learning to refine early Alzheimer’s risk stratification.

Lots of nice within-family analyses here showing that direct genetic effects on personality are very similar to the population GWAS effects. Interestingly the one nominal exception, openness to experience (purple), also had the highest genetic correlation with edu attainment.

Contributions of expression, splicing and protein QTLs (sepQTLs), compared to other genomic annotations, to SNP heritability and polygenic predictions across 27 complex traits. sepQTLs cover merely ~1% of all SNPs, yet contribute 20% of SNP heritability and 34% of prediction

Interesting paper looking at the direct and indirect effects of polygenic score for BMI on age at onset of type 2 diabetes in South Asians vs Europeans. BMI completely (100%) explained the association between BMI PGS and T2D risk in Europeans, whereas in South Asians, it
