The Influence of the Gut Microbiome on Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Gastrointestinal Disease
There is a fine balance in the mutual relationship between the intestinal microbiota and its mammalian host. It is thought that disruptions in this fine balance contribute/account for the pathogenesis of many diseases.

AKR1B10 in gastrointestinal diseases
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by long-standing mucosal inflammation of the large bowel, with increased tendency of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), i.e., colitis-associated cancer (CAC) [1]. The other two predisposing conditions for CRC are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), whose ...

Timing and Predictive Value of Clinical Conditions Preceding Multiple Sclerosis in the UK Biobank
ABSTRACT Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often experience a higher incidence of clinical conditions before diagnosis, suggesting a prodromal phase. However, their predictive value and temporal trajectories remain underexplored. We investigated these aspects using the large UK Biobank's population‐based cohort, which provided clinical ...
