Journal ArticleDOI
Dendronized multifunctional amphiphilic polymers as efficient nanocarriers for biomedical applications.
Meena Kumari,Shilpi Gupta,Shilpi Gupta,Katharina Achazi,Christoph Böttcher,Jayant Khandare,Sunil K. Sharma,Rainer Haag +7 more
TL;DR: A comparison of the data for the dendronized polymers with the respective low-molecular-weight amphiphile reveal that these polymeric systems are excellent nanotransporters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between physical activity, sleep duration and depressive symptoms in older adults: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA).
TL;DR: The main finding was that, in the group with elevated depressive symptoms only, physical activity was positively associated with sleep duration in models adjusted for all covariates, suggesting that a potentially effective way of improving sleep in older adults with depressive symptoms is via physical activity interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in cognitive abilities across the life course: Cross-sectional evidence from Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study
TL;DR: Cross-sectional associations of age with five cognitive tests in a large representative sample of over 40,000 men and women aged 16 to 100 living in the UK confirmed previously observed patterns of cognitive aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bigmelon: tools for analysing large DNA methylation datasets.
T.J. Gorrie-Stone,Melissa C. Smart,Ayden Saffari,Ayden Saffari,Karim Malki,Eilis Hannon,Joe Burrage,Jonathan Mill,Meena Kumari,Leonard C. Schalkwyk +9 more
TL;DR: The bigmelon R package is introduced, which provides a memory efficient workflow that enables users to perform the complex, large scale analyses required in epigenome wide association studies (EWAS) without the need for large RAM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between Change in Body Composition and Change in Inflammatory Markers: An 11-Year Follow-Up in the Whitehall II Study
