Association between Lp(a) and T2D: a Mendelian randomization study

Introduction Blood lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels have been observed to be inversely correlated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this Mendelian randomization (MR) study, the causal impact of genetically predicted Lp(a) on T2D was assessed.

Causal association between periodontitis and systemic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of mendelian randomization studies

BMC Oral Health
Background Periodontitis has increasingly been recognized for its impact on systemic health. Mendelian Randomization (MR), an emerging causal inference method, effectively overcomes confounding biases in observational studies.

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.
