TL;DR: It is reported that exposure to disadvantaged environments is associated with reduced telomere length by age 9 y, and significant associations between low income, low maternal education, unstable family structure, and harsh parenting and TL are documented.

TL;DR: A perspective is described—population neuroscience—that leverages interdisciplinary expertise to emphasize the importance of sampling to more clearly define the relevant populations and sampling strategies needed when using neuroscience methods to address such questions and deepen understanding of mechanisms within population science by providing insight regarding underlying neural mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review describes stress-related biological mechanisms linking interpersonal racism to life course health trajectories among African Americans, concluding that interpersonal racism is a form of social exclusion.

TL;DR: In the largest genome-wide association study of PTSD to date, involving a US military sample, limited evidence of association for specific loci was found and no significant genetic correlations were observed between PTSD and 6 mental disorders or 9 immune-related disorders.

TL;DR: For reproducibility through rigor and transparency, it is recommended that researchers include a PGS with all available SNPs as a reference, and provide substantial justification for using alternative methods.
