Background: Early and delayed puberty are both associated with adverse health and psychosocial outcomes.
Objectives: We assessed the impact of provision of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) to mothers during pregnancy and 6 mo postpartum and to their children aged 6-18 mo, on pubertal status.
Methods: This study was a follow-up to a partially double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Hox genes are highly conserved developmental regulators instrumental to the formation of a wide range of diverse body plans across metazoans. While significant progress in the field of Hox gene research has been made, persistent challenges in unraveling their mechanisms of action and full repertoire of functions remain. To date, investigations of Hox gene function have been primarily conducted in research models belonging to ecdysozoa and vertebrata.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFGraphene aerogels (GAs) with engineered architectures are a promising material for applications ranging from filtration to energy storage/conversion. However, current preparation approaches involve the combination of multiple intrinsically-different methodologies to achieve graphene-synthesis and architecture-engineering, complicating the entire procedure. Here, a novel approach to prepare GAs with engineered architectures based on the laser-upcycling of protein biowaste, hemoglobin, is introduced.

Methods: An exploratory study was conducted during the 5th Annual Meeting of the Joint European Neonatal Societies in Rome. Data were collected via a web-based survey during a live session.
