We appreciate the interest in our manuscript and the growing attention on cost-effectiveness research. Van Hout et al. refer to our graphical abstract, which functions as a structural approach to summarize existing economic evaluations for inheritable cardiomyopathies published until April 2021. Thereby, we simply described each study’s conclusion on the cost-effectiveness of a given intervention without including any personal reflections.

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive accumulation of CNS damage.1 On the other hand, as individuals age, their brains tend to show alterations, including limited plasticity, intra- and extracellular protein accumulation, reduced grey matter (GM) volume, increased white matter (WM) abnormalities and ischaemic lesions.2 In patients with multiple sclerosis, the interplay between the disease and ageing is complex and...

A 3D model of imitation blood vessels will make it possible to see exactly how snake venom attacks blood vessels, without having to use laboratory animals. This new research model, called an organ-on-a-chip, was developed by a research team from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, MIMETAS and Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Roughly one hundred thousand people die annually from the effects of a snake bite and four times as many sustain chronic injuries.

The environment of galaxy clusters has a significant impact on galaxy evolution compared to galaxies in the field. Cluster galaxies tend to be quenched since their gas is stripped as they enter the dense cluster environment. This causes them to be older, redder, and more elliptical than their counterparts in the field (e.g. Dressler 1980; Cooper et al. 2006; Donnari et al. 2021, and references therein).

The discovery cohort included patients from the Karolinska University Hospital Medical Unit Aging Memory clinic (GEDOC database and biobank) in Solna, examined between 2019–2021. The cohort consisted of 241 individuals diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease (n = 44), mild cognitive impairment (n = 65) or subjective cognitive decline (SCD) (n = 132), according to the national guidelines of Sweden that have been established by the Swedish Board of Health and Welfare [21].

Multifetal pregnancies pose unique challenges due to increased risks of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality compared to singleton pregnancies (The ESHRE Capri Workshop Group, 2000; American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2014), particularly in triplet and higher-order pregnancies (Wen et al., 2004; Luke and Brown, 2008; Stone and Kohari, 2015).
