This study investigates gene-environment interactions in Multiple Sclerosis using UK Biobank data, finding significant interaction between childhood obesity and genetic risk.

This study compares vitamin D levels between people with multiple sclerosis and controls in the UK using remote sampling, finding higher levels in MS patients due to supplementation.

The paper shows that RNA prevents protein aggregation in cell lysates, and that RNA degradation leads to protein aggregation, with specific RNA structures being effective in maintaining protein solubility.

The paper investigates environmental and genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease using UK Biobank data, showing gene-environment interactions and improved prediction with polygenic risk scores.

The paper introduces a new parameter, VS, to detect bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease patients using the BRAIN tap test and validates its reliability across different hardware platforms.

The paper evaluates abbreviated versions of the UPSIT smell test to detect hyposmia, finding that a 4-item test outperforms existing shorter versions in sensitivity and specificity.
