More Than Effects in Skin: Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced Changes in Immune Cells in Human Blood

Cells of the skin and circulation are in constant two-way communication. Following exposure of humans to sunlight or to phototherapy, there are alterations in the number, phenotype and function of circulating blood cells.

Sun exposure: An environmental preventer of metabolic dysfunction?

Emerging preclinical findings suggest that some sun exposure is necessary for optimal metabolic health

Epigenetic Age Acceleration in Adolescence Associates with BMI, Inflammation, and Risk Score for Middle Age Cardiovascular Disease

Accelerated epigenetic age in adolescence was associated with inflammation, BMI measured 5 years later, and probability of middle age cardiovascular disease

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of DNA methylation and childhood asthma

Novel loci differentially methylated in newborns represent potential biomarkers of risk of asthma by school age

Varicella vaccine effectiveness over 10 years in Australia; moderate protection from 1-dose program

Although Australia's program has impacted on the burden of varicella disease, single dose Vaccine Effectiveness against varicella hospitalisation is only moderate

Suboptimal bone status for adolescents with low motor competence and developmental coordination disorder—It's sex specific

Australian adolescent boys with low motor competence/Developmental Coordination Disorder had less robust bones compared to their well-coordinated Australian peers

Do carer’s levels of unmet needs change over time when caring for patients diagnosed with high-grade glioma and how are these needs correlated with distress?

The aim of the current study was to determine how carer needs changed longitudinally and understand associations between unmet needs and distress.

Pain after discharge following head and neck surgery in children

Adenotonsillectomy patients represent the biggest challenge in postoperative pain management of the head and neck surgeries evaluated

GFP-complementation assay to detect functional CPP and protein delivery into living cells.

Efficient cargo uptake is essential for cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) therapeutics, which deliver widely diverse cargoes by exploiting natural cell...

Ultraviolet radiation, vitamin D and multiple sclerosis
