Lung development genes, adult lung function and cardiovascular comorbidities.

Thorax

June 2025

Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK.

Background: The association between lower adult lung function and increased cardiovascular comorbidity has not been adequately explained. We investigated whether shared developmental signalling pathways, critical to lung development and repair, could partly explain it.

Methods: In UK Biobank (UKB), we performed pairwise colocalisation analysis of variants in 55 lung development genes associated with adult forced vital capacity (FVC) or forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV)/FVC, to see if these are also associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, hypertension), pulse pressure, Arterial Stiffness index and carotid intima-media thickness.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases of the aging population, with an incidence of more than 250 million affected people and annual treatment costs exceeding $80 billion. Osteoarthritis involves pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and swelling of the joints due to cartilage wear and tear and inflammation, which results in a broad system affecting the joints. This review focuses on the relationship between zinc and copper and the effects of these minerals on osteoarthritis.

A phase division-based multi-segment foot model for estimating dynamic foot arch stiffness during walking.

PLoS One

April 2025

State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, School of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

The arch of the human foot plays a significant role in bearing weight and keeping gait balance. Previous studies mainly focus on the foot arch stiffness at the static or quasi-dynamic state of a particular foot shape. The variation of the linear arch stiffness across the entire walking gait has rarely been reported.

Controlled liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays an important role in the formation of a heterogeneously structured extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of densely cross-linked stiff structures compartmentalized in a loosely cross-linked matrix. Moreover, the mechanical cues presented by the cellular-scale structural heterogeneity of the ECM facilitate the mechanotransduction of cells and subsequent cellular development. Therefore, developing ECM-mimetic hydrogels with compartmentalized structural heterogeneity as inductive cell carriers is highly desirable but challenging.
