GENEVA — Nearly 8,500 civilians are confirmed to have been killed in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a United Nations body said Tuesday, with many thousands more unverified deaths still feared. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said it had recorded 8,490 people killed and 14,244 injured between the launch of the invasion on February 24, 2022, and April 9, 2023. The body has long described its figures as 'the tip of the iceberg' because of its limited access to battle zones.

A study of the genetic variation that makes mice more susceptible to bowel inflammation after a high-fat diet has identified candidate genes which may drive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans. The findings are published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife. Described by the editors as a fundamental study, the work provides a framework for using systems genetics approaches to dissect the complex mechanisms of gut physiology. The authors show how it is possible to use genetically diverse but well-characterised mice to interrogate intestinal inflammation and pinpoint genes influenced by the environment – in this case, a high-fat diet – and identify potential treatment targets for IBD in mice and humans.
