MendelR: A One‐Stop R Toolkit for Mendelian Randomization Analysis
ABSTRACT MendelR is a fully automated R package specifically developed for Mendelian randomization (MR) studies, designed to address the technical challenges of causal inference in biomedical research. As a powerful causal inference method, Mendelian randomization can effectively reduce confounding bias in observational studies.

Comprehensive Evidence for Mortality and Underlying Morbidity Related to Visceral Fat Distribution
ABSTRACT Linking obesity to mortality is an intriguing and controversial topic. This study tried to comprehensively assess 8 adiposity surrogates and mortality association among middle‐to‐old‐aged adults to identify a superior one, and explore explanatory disorders. Data sources included the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Abstract Background GBA1 variants cause Gaucher's disease (GD) in biallelic forms and increase Parkinson's disease (PD) risk in heterozygous carriers. Carriers of mild or severe variants (causing GD type 1 or types 2–3) can enroll in clinical trials, whereas those with GBA1 variants classified as unknown are typically excluded.

Abstract The association between alcohol consumption and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk remains unclear, whereas smoking has an inverse relationship with the disease. This study systematically reviewed and meta‐analyzed 16 studies (2014–2024) from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library to assess the relationship between ...

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.
