Inactive or moderately active human promoters are enriched for inter-individual epialleles.
(2013-05-25)
BACKGROUND: Inter-individual epigenetic variation, due to genetic, environmental or random influences, is observed in many eukaryotic species. In mammals, however, the molecular nature of epiallelic variation has been ...
Age-associated hyper-methylated regions in the human brain overlap with bivalent chromatin domains.
(2012)
Recent associations between age-related differentially methylated sites and bivalently marked chromatin domains have implicated a role for these genomic regions in aging and age-related diseases. However, the overlap between ...
Month of birth and thymic output.

Hypovitaminosis-D and EBV: no interdependence between two MS risk factors in a healthy young UK autumn cohort.
(2014-05)
Late Epstein-Barr virus infection and hypovitaminosis-D as environmental risk factors in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis are gaining great interest. We, therefore, tested for in-vivo interdependence between ...
Atraumatic needles for lumbar puncture: why haven't neurologists changed?
(2015-08-05)
Diagnostic lumbar puncture is a key procedure in neurology; however, it is commonly complicated by post-lumbar puncture headache. Atraumatic needle systems can dramatically reduce the incidence of this iatrogenic complication. ...
Protein-protein interaction analysis highlights additional loci of interest for multiple sclerosis.
(2012)
Genetic factors play an important role in determining the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). The strongest genetic association in MS is located within the major histocompatibility complex class II region (MHC), but more than ...
Is it time to target no evident disease activity (NEDA) in multiple sclerosis?
(2015-07)
The management of multiple sclerosis is becoming increasingly complex with the emergence of new and more effective disease-modifying therapies (DMT). We propose a new treatment paradigm that individualises treatment based ...
Conversion from clinically isolated syndrome to multiple sclerosis: A large multicentre study.
(2015-02-13)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We explored which clinical and biochemical variables predict conversion from clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) in a large international cohort. ...
The role of infections in Behçet disease and neuro-Behçet syndrome.
(2015-03-11)
Infections are considered an environmental trigger for exacerbations of immune-mediated diseases. We aimed to establish if common viral infections could be identified as a precipitant of Behçet disease (BD) with or without ...
Disposable MMP-9 sensor based on the degradation of peptide cross-linked hydrogel films using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
(2015-01-26)
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays an important role in both physiological and pathological processes. This enzyme is a peripheral biomarker of neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease ...
