Are Flexible Work Arrangements Associated with Lower Levels of Chronic Stress-Related Biomarkers? A Study of 6025 Employees in the UK Household Longitudinal Study
TL;DR: In this paper, the availability and use of different flexible work arrangements are associated with lower allostatic load (an index of chronic stress-related biomarkers) in a large representative study of UK adults.

TL;DR: It is indicated that multiple rare and common W NK1 variants contribute to BP variation and hypertension, and provide compelling evidence to initiate further genetic and functional studies to explore the role of WNK1 in BP regulation and EH.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel probabilistic approach to estimating the response of the immune system to laser-spot assisted, 3D image analysis of central nervous system injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanopore analysis: An emerging technique for studying the folding and misfolding of proteins.
TL;DR: The initial analysis of (1) Aβ peptides, which are deposited as amyloid plaques in Alzheimer disease, (2) α-synuclein, which is implicated in Parkinson disease and (3) prion proteins whose misfolding is evident in transmissable spongiform encephalopathies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Several loci contain single-nucleotide polymorphisms, exhibiting overlapping associations with autoimmune and cardiovascular disorders and other circulating biomarkers, which provide important tools for probing the causal relevance of IL-6 signaling in a range of cardiometabolic diseases.
