Extent of metabolic risk in adolescent girls with features of polycystic ovary syndrome

The objective of this study was to determine prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Living near agricultural pesticide applications and the risk of adverse reproductive outcomes: A review of the literature

Over the last decade, there has been growing concern about the possible health effects, including a number of adverse reproductive outcomes, from pesticide...

TLR2 mediates recognition of live staphylococus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a nosocomial pathogen that causes catheter-associated bacteremia in the immunocompromised, including those at the extremes of age

Single cell transcriptomics reveals cell type specific features of developmentally regulated responses to lipopolysaccharide between birth and 5 years

Human perinatal life is characterized by a period of extraordinary change during which newborns encounter abundant environmental stimuli and exposure to potential pathogens. To meet such challenges, the neonatal immune system is equipped with unique functional characteristics that adapt to changing conditions as development progresses across the early years of life, but the molecular characteristics of such adaptations remain poorly understood.

Transplacental Innate Immune Training via Maternal Microbial Exposure: Role of XBP1-ERN1 Axis in Dendritic Cell Precursor Programming

We recently reported that offspring of mice treated during pregnancy with the microbial-derived immunomodulator OM-85 manifest striking resistance to allergic airways inflammation, and localized the potential treatment target to fetal conventional dendritic cell (cDC) progenitors. Here, we profile maternal OM-85 treatment-associated transcriptomic signatures in fetal bone marrow, and identify a series of immunometabolic pathways which provide essential metabolites for accelerated myelopoiesis.

A method for the generation of large numbers of dendritic cells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from cord blood

Neonatal dendritic cells generated form CD34+ cord blood progenitors have a higher inflammatory potential when exposed to viral than bacterial related stimuli

Chinese immigrants in Australia at higher risk of allergies, research shows

Chinese immigrants who live in a Western environment like Australia have an increased risk of allergies, hay fever and asthma, new research led by Curtin University and The Kids Research Institute Australia has found.
