Background: Nursing students are tasked with connecting theoretical knowledge with clinical practice to ensure patient safety and provide quality care. However, there is a distinct lack of research on nursing student learning transfer. More exploration and research are necessary to understand how nursing students apply their learning in complex and evolving clinical situations.

Background: The rarity that is inherent in rare disease (RD) often means that patients and parents of children with RDs feel uniquely isolated and therefore are unprepared or unsupported in their care. To overcome this isolation, many within the RD community turn to the internet, and social media groups in particular, to gather useful information about their RDs. While previous research has shown that social media support groups are helpful for those affected by RDs, it is unclear what these groups are particularly useful or helpful for patients and parents of children with RDs.

Background: Annotation of target genes of non-coding GWAS loci remains a challenge since 1) regulatory elements identified by GWAS can be metabases away from its actual target, 2) one regulatory element can target multiple genes, and 3) multiple regulatory elements can target one gene. AD GWAS in populations with different ancestries have identified different loci, suggesting ancestry-specific genetic risks. To understand the connection between associated loci (potential regulatory elements) and their target genes, we conducted Hi-C analysis in frontal cortex of African American (AA) and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) AD patients to map chromatin loops, which often represent enhancer-promoter (EP) interactions.

Social Science Research Institute, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.
Background: Results of recent analyses indicate that axon demyelination may play an important role in AD pathology. The MBP gene encodes a myelin basic protein involved in axon myelination in the nervous system including the central nervous system. Polymorphisms in this gene, as well as variations in expression, have been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.
Background: The connection between inflammasomes and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has garnered significant interest, with emerging evidence suggesting genetic associations and functional implications. Notably, studies have reported the upregulation of inflammasome components like NLRP1, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in AD patients. Moreover, genetic polymorphisms in inflammasome-related genes are linked to increased AD risk.
