  • Polygenic risk scores can help identify individuals at higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Here, the authors characterise a multi-ancestry score across nearly 900,000 people, showing that its predictive value depends on demographic and clinical context and extends to related traits and complications.

  • Wnt receptors and the cytoplasmic signalling adaptor, dishevelled (Dvl), are upregulated in cancer and result in elevated canonical Wnt signalling. Here the authors show that the adaptor protein Epsin acts as a chaperone that protects Dvl from degradation thereby contributing to excess Wnt signalling and colon cancer growth.

  • Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction and inflammation contribute to plaque destabilization in atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of thrombotic events. Here, the authors show that epsin promotes EC inflammation via a mechanism involving IP3R1 degradation, and that deletion of epsin in the endothelium prevents EC dysfunctoin and atherosclerosis in mice.
