Mendelian randomization studies of risk and protective factors for osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundMendelian randomization is believed to attenuate the biases inherent in observational studies, yet a meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies in osteoporosis has not been conducted thus far.

Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Do Linking‐Expression Substitutions Mitigate Deterministic Interpretations of Genetic Information?

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is a common concern that broader audiences interpret scientific information about the genetic correlates and causes of complex human traits in an overly deterministic manner. A frequently proposed way to address this issue is to carefully select the linking expressions used to describe gene–trait relationships when communicating genetic ...

Causal effects of blood and urinary biomarkers on cancer risk: A Mendelian randomization study

Journal of International Medical Research
Objective Observational studies have linked various serum and urinary biomarkers to cancer risk, but confounding and reverse causation limit causal inference.

The relationship between inflammatory factors and heart failure: evidence based on bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
ObjectiveInflammatory factors play a crucial role in the onset and progression of heart failure. To further explore the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and heart failure, we employed bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to ...

Bayesian Mendelian Randomization

, 2016
Our Bayesian approach to Mendelian Randomisation uses multiple instruments to assess the putative causal effect of an exposure on an outcome. The approach is robust to violations of the (untestable) Exclusion Restriction condition, and hence it does not require instruments to be independent of the outcome conditional on the exposure and on the ...

Epigenetically Regulated NOX4/NRF2 Axis Mediates PM2.5‐Induced Ferroptosis and Inflammatory Response in Membranous Nephropathy

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the involvement and mechanism of ferroptosis in particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)–induced membranous nephropathy (MN) progression. A cationic bovine serum albumin (cBSA)–induced mouse model of MN was established, followed by PM2.5 exposure.

Assessment of relationships between epigenetic age acceleration and multiple sclerosis: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background The DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks are increasingly recognized for their precision in predicting aging and its health implications. Although prior research has identified connections between accelerated epigenetic aging and multiple ...

Single‐Cell Profiling Identifies CLEC5A+ Macrophages as Key Drivers of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Via CCL5‐Mediated M1 Polarization

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life‐threatening cardiovascular disease with limited therapeutic options. Through single‐cell RNA sequencing of aortic tissues from healthy individuals and TAA patients (105,541 cells), we identified CLEC5A+macrophages as the predominant pathogenic cell population exhibiting the highest M1 polarization score.
