Hyperactive Nickase Activity Improves Adenine Base Editing

Base editing technologies enable programmable single-nucleotide changes in target DNA without double-stranded DNA breaks. Adenine base editors (ABEs) allow precise conversion of adenine to guanine. However, limited availability of optimized deaminases as well as their variable efficiencies across different target sequences can limit the ability of ABEs to achieve effective adenine editing.

Higher maternal bread and thiamine intakes are associated with increased infant allergic disease

A mother's diet during pregnancy may influence her infant's immune development. However, as potential interactions between components of our dietary intakes can make any nutritional analysis complex, here we took a multi-component dietary analysis approach.

Understanding variations in the built environment over time to inform longitudinal studies of young children's physical activity behaviour - The BEACHES project

We know relatively little about the role the neighbourhood built environment plays in promoting young children's physical activity, particularly its longitudinal effect either through repeated exposure to the same environment or through change in exposure by moving from one neighbourhood to another.

Too far from care? A descriptive analysis of young Australian mental health aeromedical retrievals

Young Australians living in rural and remote locations have poorer mental health outcomes and higher rates of self-harm and suicide than their major city counterparts. Significant service gaps and barriers exist in accessing general and youth-specific mental health services. With a lack of access, comes delays in treatment and associated poorer outcomes. This paper describes the characteristics of young people requiring an aeromedical retrieval (AR) for acute inpatient psychiatric care.

Allergy, Inflammation & Immunity

ORIGINS has several sub-projects exploring allergy development within the cohort, with a focus on respiratory conditions such as asthma and nutritional strategies for allergy prevention.

The Mast Cell Study

Comparing how mast cells are “programmed” in allergic and non-allergic children at one year of age.

RHINO

RHINO researchers from The Kids' Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre, will analyse ORIGINS data and turn it into meaningful respiratory and allergy outcome data that can be used by researchers around the world.

Happy Parenting Program

The Happy Parenting Program is investigating new ways to provide support to parents with young children from an early age.
