DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-61721-1 Lyrics:Verse 1Late-night ache like a flare in the darkDeep in the tooth where the trouble startsBright screens trace what we couldn’t seeA hidden map in our history Pre-ChorusNot just sugar, not just timeThere’s a signal in the spineOf every cell that stands its groundWhen the alarms go round ChorusIt’s written in the alleles, in the way we fightHLA shadows in a cold white lightWhen the pulp gets cornered, when the roots igniteSome of us burn, some of us hold on tightYeah, under the enamel, over the line Verse 2Fifteen sparks on a genome-wide streetTwelve chromosomes keepin’ the rhythm and heatRegulators whisper, then the gates swing wideAntigen stories we carry inside BridgeFine-mapped truth in a crowded chartAutophagy beats like a second heartNot fate, not blame—just clues in viewTo change what we do with what we knew Final ChorusIt’s written in the alleles, in the way we fightClass II signals cut through the nightWhen the pulp gets cornered, when the roots igniteWe can read the risk, get the timing rightYeah, under the enamel, over the line
