Recent research examines how and why people abandon self tracking tools. We extend this
work with new insights drawn from people reflecting on their experiences after they stop …

Twenty-five years after the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS there is still no effective
vaccine and no cure for this disease. HIV susceptibility shows a substantial degree of individual …

The large tumor antigen (T antigen) encoded by simian virus 40 is an amazing molecular
machine because it orchestrates viral infection by modulating multiple fundamental viral and …

Current models of how people use personal informatics systems are largely based in behavior
change goals. They do not adequately characterize the integration of self-tracking into …

GENOMIC imprinting, or parental allele-specific expression of genes, has been demonstrated
at the molecular level in insects and mice 1,2 but not in man. Imprinting as a potential …

Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic
traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for …

Recent genome-wide association studies have described many loci implicated in type 2
diabetes (T2D) pathophysiology and β-cell dysfunction but have contributed little to the …

Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are a family of small proteins that localize
in the plasma and endolysosomal membranes. IFITMs not only inhibit viral entry into host …

Trypanolytic variants in APOL1, which encodes apolipoprotein L1, associate with kidney
disease in African Americans, but whether APOL1-associated glomerular disease has a distinct …

Through genome-wide association meta-analyses of up to 133,010 individuals of European
ancestry without diabetes, including individuals newly genotyped using the Metabochip, we …
