Gene Set Based Integrated Methylome and Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Potential Molecular Mechanisms Linking Cigarette Smoking and Related Diseases
OMICS. 2023 May;27(5):193-204. doi: 10.1089/omi.2023.0028. Epub 2023 May 5. ABSTRACT Advanced integrative analysis of DNA methylation and transcriptomics data may provide deeper insights into smoke-induced epigenetic alterations, their effects on gene expression and related biological processes, linking cigarette smoking and related diseases. We hypothesize that accumulation of DNA methylation changes…

Gut microbiota composition and function in pregnancy as determinants of prediabetes at two-year postpartum
Acta Diabetol. 2023 Apr 28. doi: 10.1007/s00592-023-02064-5. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT AIMS: Deep metagenomics offers an advanced tool for examining the relationship between gut microbiota composition and function and the onset of disease; in this case, does the composition and function of gut microbiota during pregnancy differ in women…
Early-life environment and the risk of eczema at 2 years-Meta-analyses of six Finnish birth cohorts
Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2023 Apr;34(4):e13945. doi: 10.1111/pai.13945. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Urban-related nature exposures are suggested to contribute to the rising prevalence of allergic diseases despite little supporting evidence. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of 12 land cover classes and two greenness indices around homes at birth on the development…
Spillover effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on attitudes to influenza and childhood vaccines
BMC Public Health. 2023 Apr 25;23(1):764. doi: 10.1186/s12889-023-15653-4.
