  1. Ancient DNA shows widespread selection across West Eurasia
    Ancient DNA analysis of 15,836 West Eurasian genomes reveals pervasive directional selection across hundreds of alleles over the past ten millennia, with measured effects on complex traits.
  2. 3D interlocking miniplates improved bone density in mandibular fractures
    Split-mouth trial shows 3D interlocking miniplates produce faster bone healing and better nerve recovery than conventional plates for mandibular fractures near the mental foramen.
