Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by a complex pathogenesis involving the interplay of multiple molecular and cellular pathways. In recent years, metabolic dysregulation and neuroinflammation have been recognized as key contributors to PD...
The polarization state of microglia exerts an influence on neuroinflammation and neural tissue repair after injury. Modulating microglial polarization is emerging as a potential therapeutic strategy for various types of neural injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the causal relations...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlight the role of metabolites in immune diseases, but it remains unknown how much of this effect is driven by genetic and non-genetic host factors.
RESULT: We systematically investigate circulating metabolites in a cohort of 5...
Genetic interactions are fundamental to the architecture of complex traits, yet the molecular mechanisms by which variant combinations influence cellular pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we answer the question of whether interactions between genetic variants can activate unique pathways a...
