The paper identifies LGALS1 as the strongest galectin correlate of systolic blood pressure in African Americans using whole-blood transcriptomics.

This study identifies distinct microRNA signatures in extracellular vesicles from metabolically healthy obesity that impair endothelial function and mitochondrial dynamics, contributing to progression to metabolically abnormal obesity.

This study integrates GWAS with eQTL and pQTL analyses to identify functionally relevant variants and molecular mechanisms in type 2 diabetes.

This study identifies 95 female-specific genes associated with hypertension and kidney function in African American women through transcriptomic analysis.

The paper identifies proteomic signatures linked to oral contraceptive use in hypertensive premenopausal African American women, revealing associations with neurohormonal, immune, and lipid pathways.

The paper develops a computational model of macrophage signaling to predict activation responses to cytokine combinations, revealing a second axis of activation distinct from the M1-M2 polarization.
