Prenatal diet buffers infant epigenetic changes linked to pollution and transient wheeze

This study examines how prenatal air pollution exposure affects DNA methylation in cord blood and its link to childhood wheeze, finding some epigenetic changes are partially buffered by maternal diet.

Proteomic portraits reveal evolutionarily conserved and divergent responses to spinal cord injury

The paper identifies protein biomarkers for spinal cord injury severity and recovery using proteomic analysis of human and porcine samples, showing high predictive accuracy.
