This paper investigates how interactions between infant polygenic risk and maternal human milk components predict childhood atopy, finding that integrating these factors improves prediction accuracy.

This study shows that breast milk extracellular vesicles from mothers with asthma differentially modulate cytokine release by airway smooth muscle cells depending on the donor and recipient cell type.

The paper investigates how human milk components interact with infant genomics to affect gut microbiota and risk of childhood asthma and atopy.

The paper develops a DNA methylation score to quantify the impact of maternal smoking on newborn health outcomes in European and South Asian populations, finding consistent associations with smaller birth size and lower birth weight.
