Background: The proteome is a valuable resource for pinpointing therapeutic targets. Therefore, we conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed at identifying potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis (NMDAR-E).

Methods: Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) were obtained from seven published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) focusing on the plasma proteome, resulting in summary-level data for 734 circulating protein markers.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that is increasingly linked to immune dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are crucial in maintaining immune homeostasis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ASD. However, their role in neuroimmune interactions and behavioral outcomes remains poorly understood.

Climatic challenges increasingly threaten global food security, necessitating crops with enhanced multi-stress resilience. Through systematic transcriptomic analysis of 100 wheat genotypes under heat, drought, cold, and salt stress, we identified 3237 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) enriched in key stress-response pathways. Core transcription factors (, , ) and two functional modules governing abiotic tolerance were characterized.

Background: Prostatic diseases, consisting of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa), pose significant health challenges. While single-omics studies have provided valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in prostatic diseases, integrating multi-omics approaches is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.

Methods: A genome-wide meta-analysis was conducted for prostatic diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from FinnGen and UK Biobank.

The role of activated microglia in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is well established; the proportion of stage III activated microglia has been associated with AD and cognitive decline, but this morphologically defined subtype is relatively uncommon (1-2% of microglia) and its cellular function is unknown. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed CD74 as a marker gene that is enriched in immunologically active microglial subtypes associated with AD. Here, we evaluated the relationship between CD74 expression, AD-related traits, and microglial morphology using dorsolateral prefrontal cortex samples from two brain collections (ROSMAP: n=63, NYBB: n=91).
