Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Uncovers the Role of Essential Genes in Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity
[NPJ Genomic Medicine] Scientists identified a genetic association between decreased expression of GDF5 and anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, and found that cell viability of GDF5-silenced human cardiac myocytes was significantly decreased in response to anthracycline treatment.

APOE2 Mitigates Disease-Related Phenotypes in an Isogenic hiPSC-Based Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
[Molecular Psychiatry] Investigators utilized an isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based system to demonstrate that conversion of APOE3 to APOE2 greatly reduced the production of amyloid-beta peptides in hiPSC-derived neural cultures.
