Epigenetic inflammatory memory and periodontal disease: Mechanisms and clinical significance for comorbidities

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, immunological memory was considered an exclusive feature of adaptive immunity. However, innate immune cells have recently been shown to record and maintain epigenetically imprinted memory of earlier infectious or inflammatory challenges.

Immunophenotypic variations in syphilis: insights from Mendelian randomization analysis

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundInfection with Treponema pallidum instigates complex immune responses. Prior research has suggested that persistent Treponema pallidum infection can manipulate host immune responses and circumvent host defenses. However, the precise role of immune cells in Treponema pallidum infection across different stages remains a contentious issue ...

PCSK9 inhibitors and osteoporosis: mendelian randomization and meta-analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors represent an effective strategy for reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Yet, PCSK9’s impact on osteoporosis remains unclear. Hence, we employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis for examining PCSK9 inhibitor effects on osteoporosis.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Depression/Anxiety in an East Asian Population: A Mendelian Randomization Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity and psychiatric disorders are the leading causes of global morbidity. Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional link between higher body mass index (BMI) and mental health outcomes, but the direction of causality remains uncertain due to confounding and reverse causation. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using

MendelR: A One‐Stop R Toolkit for Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Med Research, EarlyView.
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.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
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 ...
