Blood clotting and tissue healing
The number of blood clots in society is expected to double by 2050. The risk of blood clotting increases significantly after injury, surgery, or leg immobilization. However, the effects of blood clots on tissue healing and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown.
Protecting patient privacy in metagenomic sequencing studies
Incomplete human reference genomes can drive false sex biases and expose patient-identifying information in metagenomic data, but there are ways to mitigate this.
Digitalization of healthcare professional education
In line with the rapid advancement of technology and the integration of various aspects of life, education needs to progress towards digitalization, and research should aim to identify the most effective methods.
Shifting the paradigm for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament rupture to emphasize intrinsic genetic risk in humans and dogs
Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury. The underlying mechanism has long been mischaracterized as principally mechanical. Our work reveals that ACL rupture is a heritable, polygenic disease. This breakthrough challenges the causal paradigm and advances patient care.
