Combining evidence from Mendelian randomization and colocalization: Review and comparison of approaches

Verena Zuber et al.

Summary: Mendelian randomization and colocalization are statistical approaches used to understand relationships between traits and diseases. They differ in their objectives and interpretation. Mendelian randomization assesses causality between exposure and outcome, while colocalization assesses whether two traits are affected by the same or distinct causal variants.

Immunoglobulin M: A Neglected Serum Biomarker in Treatment-Naive Primary Biliary Cholangitis With Normal Alkaline Phosphatase

Dawei Ding et al.

Summary: For patients with seropositive anti-mitochondrial antibody but normal alkaline phosphatase, a liver biopsy may be necessary to diagnose primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). This study found that higher baseline serum immunoglobulin M levels and older age were associated with a diagnosis of PBC based on liver biopsies. For patients receiving ursodeoxycholic acid treatment, monitoring of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and immunoglobulin M levels may be helpful in evaluating therapeutic responses.

Molecular basis and therapeutic implications of CD40/CD40L immune checkpoint

TingTing Tang et al.

Summary: The CD40 receptor and its ligand CD40L play a critical role in immune activation, with various therapeutic agents targeting this interaction showing promising clinical efficacy in treating malignancies and autoimmune diseases. The signaling pathways activated by CD40/CD40L interaction lead to immune cell activation and modulation, making it an attractive target for immunotherapy. Ongoing and completed clinical trials have demonstrated the potential of CD40/CD40L-targeted therapy in activating immune responses and treating diseases.
