Noncoding RNAs have been widely recognized as essential mediators of gene regulation. However, in contrast to protein-coding genes, much less is known about the influence of noncoding RNAs on human diseases. Here we examined the association of genetic variants located in primary microRNA sequences and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with Alzheimer disease (AD) by leveraging data from the largest genome-wide association meta-analysis of late-onset AD. Variants annotated to 5 miRNAs and 10 lncRNAs (in ...

Multireplication Process In article 2300344, Rhiannon Grant, Stefan Giselbrecht and co-workers demonstrate a multireplication process that enables the faithful replication of electrospun fiber structures on various cell culture substrates. By decoupling fiber diameter, porosity, and material chemistry, this process allows for precise control over fiber morphology. This enables the engineering of well-defined cell microenvironments, facilitating the investigation of complex cell-material interactions.

Abstract Electrospinning is a powerful method to fabricate structures resembling the fibrous texture of the native extracellular matrix. However, the random fiber deposition of the process hinders a faithful reproduction of the fiber mesh morphology on multiple samples, which raises difficulties in experimental designs to systematically test and assess cell response in vitro. A multi‐replication process to precisely reproduce the fiber morphology on different cell culture substrates is developed. ...

The human face represents a combined set of highly heritable phenotypes, but knowledge on its genetic architecture remains limited, despite the relevance for various fields. A series of genome-wide association studies on 78 facial shape phenotypes quantified from 3-dimensional facial images of 10,115 Europeans identified 24 genetic loci reaching study-wide suggestive association (p < 5 × 10−8), among which 17 were previously unreported. A follow-up multi-ethnic study in additional 7917 individuals confirmed ...
