Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

Association Between Plasma Phosphorylated Tau‐217 and Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) co‐pathology contributes to dementia in PD, but its role in earlier cognitive impairment remains uncertain. Objective To determine if p‐tau217, a biomarker of early AD, is associated with cognitive impairment in PD.

Heat shock protein 72 attenuates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. [PDF]
Heat shock (HS) + mild electrical stimulation (MES)‐induced heat shock protein (HSP)72 expression prevents atherogenesis in HSP72+/+/ApoE−/− mice. HS + MES‐induced HSP72 expression reduces macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, JNK activity, and MCP‐1 expression, and alters macrophage polarity from M1 to M2.

Joint Risk Factor Combinations with Additive Interaction Increase the Risk of Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Combined effects of multiple risk factors on incident late‐onset Parkinson's disease (PD; LOPD) remain poorly characterized. Objective The objective of this study was to quantify the impact of joint risk exposures and estimate the contribution of potentially modifiable factors to incident LOPD risk.
