Background: Evidence is accumulating that elevated levels of particulate air pollution, including black carbon, have been linked to gastrointestinal disorders and a lower intestinal bacterial richness and diversity. One of...

Background: Nephron number variability may hold significance in the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis. We explore the impact of gestational particulate pollution exposure on cord blood cystatin C,...

Importance: The cord blood proteome, a repository of proteins derived from both mother and fetus, might offer valuable insights into the physiological and pathological state of the fetus. However, its...

Purpose Of Review: A healthy indigenous intestinal microbiome is essential for human health. Well-established gut microbiome determinants only explain 16% of the inter-individual variation in gut microbiome composition. Recent studies...

A healthy indigenous intestinal microbiome is indispensable for intra- and extra-intestinal human health. Since well-established factors such as diet and antibiotic use only explain 16 % of the inter-individual variation...

Background: The gut microbiome plays an essential role in human health. Despite the link between air pollution exposure and various diseases, its association with the gut microbiome during susceptible life...

Fetal development is a crucial window of susceptibility in which exposure may lead to detrimental health outcomes at birth and later in life. The placenta serves as a gatekeeper between...
