Background: Incorporating Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) into doctoral research is valued by PhD scholars. The importance of providing early career researchers with appropriate education and training to develop skills to conduct meaningful involvement has been articulated. The Collaborative Doctoral Award in MultiMorbidity (CDA-MM) PhD programme embedded formal PPI training as a postgraduate education component. Four PhD scholars taking part in the CDA-MM established a PPI panel comprising people, and carers of people, living with multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions), presenting an opportuning for experiential PPI training. The proposed study aims to evaluate the process and impact of formal and experiential PPI training during a PhD programme.
Design: Embedding PPI training in a PhD programme is a novel approach. This evaluation will include a process evaluation to provide an understanding of the workings of the PPI panel and explore the experiences of key stakeholders involved, and an impact evaluation to assess the impact of embedding PPI training in a PhD programme. This study is a longitudinal mixed-methods evaluation, conducted over 24 months. Participants include PhD scholars, PPI contributors and PhD supervisors. An independent researcher not aligned with the CDA-MM will lead the evaluation. Data collection methods include focus groups, individual interviews, an impact log and group reflections. Qualitative data will be analysed using thematic and content analysis and quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics.
Discussion: This evaluation will report the learnings from embedding formal and experiential PPI training and education across a PhD programme.

Background: The person-based approach (PBA) has emerged as a prominent methodology guiding the development of digital and hybrid health behaviour change interventions over the last decade, and there is a salient need to understand its utilization.
Objective: This study aims to describe which elements of the PBA have been utilised in intervention development research, for which populations, and how this has been reported.
Methods: A search for intervention development papers published between 2015 and 2023 using forward citation searches was undertaken in Scopus, using two seed articles.

Background: Endothelial cell dysfunction has a critical role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. This study aims to uncover pivotal genes and pathways linked to endothelial cell dysfunction in atherosclerosis, as well as to ascertain the assumed causal effects and potential mechanisms.
Methods: Datasets relevant to endothelial cell dysfunction in atherosclerosis were collected and divided into training and validation sets.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that Parkinson's disease (PD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are closely associated and becoming global health burdens. However, the causal relationships and common pathogeneses between them are uncertain. Furthermore, they are uncurable.

Melatonin is a hormone released by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It has been widely studied for its therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly through the amyloidosis, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation pathways. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which it exerts its neuroprotective effects in AD are still largely unknown.
