Depression in pregnancy, infant birth weight and DNA methylation of imprint regulatory elements.
(Epigenetics : official journal of the DNA Methylation Society, 2012-07)Depressed mood in pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight (LBW, 4,500 g) infants had 5.9% higher methylation at the PLAGL1 DMR compared with normal birth weight infants. Our findings confirm that severe maternal depressed ... -

Effects of FOXO genotypes on longevity: a biodemographic analysis.
(J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2010-12)Based on data from 760 centenarians and 1060 middle-age controls (all Han Chinese), this article contributes biodemographic insights and syntheses concerning the magnitude of effects of the FOXO genotypes on longevity. We ... -

FLAME: A Fast Large-scale Almost Matching Exactly Approach to Causal Inference
(2017-08-01)A classical problem in causal inference is that of matching, where treatment units need to be matched to control units. Some of the main challenges in developing matching methods arise from the tension among (i) inclusion ... -
Genetic variants in the folate metabolic pathway genes predict melanoma-specific survival.
(The British journal of dermatology, 2020-01-18)BACKGROUND:Folate metabolism plays an important role in DNA methylation and nucleic acid synthesis and thus may function as a regulatory factor in cancer development. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ... -
Implementing diffusion-weighted MRI for body imaging in prospective multicentre trials: current considerations and future perspectives.
(European radiology, 2018-03)For body imaging, diffusion-weighted MRI may be used for tumour detection, staging, prognostic information, assessing response and follow-up. Disease detection and staging involve qualitative, subjective assessment of images, ... -
Individuals with mutations in XPNPEP3, which encodes a mitochondrial protein, develop a nephronophthisis-like nephropathy.
(J Clin Invest, 2010-03)The autosomal recessive kidney disease nephronophthisis (NPHP) constitutes the most frequent genetic cause of terminal renal failure in the first 3 decades of life. Ten causative genes (NPHP1-NPHP9 and NPHP11), whose products ... -
Mechanosensitive neurons on the internal reproductive tract contribute to egg-laying-induced acetic acid attraction in Drosophila.
(Cell Rep, 2014-10-23)Selecting a suitable site to deposit their eggs is an important reproductive need of Drosophila females. Although their choosiness toward egg-laying sites is well documented, the specific neural mechanism that activates ... -
Synthesis of copper nanocatalysts with tunable size using diblock copolymer solution micelles
(Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2010-04-08)Self-assembled solution micelles prepared from polystyrene-b-poly(4- vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP), have been employed as templates to synthesize copper nanocatalysts which ... -
Translational models of mild traumatic brain injury tissue biomechanics
(Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering, 2022-12-01)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health concern. Mild TBI (mTBI) which accounts for the majority of TBI cases, is hard to detect since often the imaging is normal but can still cause brain damage and long-term sequelae. ... -
Warm season heavy rainfall events over the Huaihe River Valley and their linkage with wintertime thermal condition of the tropical oceans
(Climate Dynamics, 2015)Warm season heavy rainfall events over the Huaihe River Valley (HRV) of China are amongst the top causes of agriculture and economic loss in this region. Thus, there is a pressing need for accurate seasonal prediction of ...
