Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Don L Armstrong"
- Don L Armstrong's research involves transcriptomic profiling of fetal membranes to understand the molecular mechanisms leading to preterm birth, focusing on the impact of proteoglycans biglycan and decorin in a mouse model.
- Investigating the effects of maternal weight on placental DNA methylation in common marmoset monkeys, the studies reveal significant links between maternal conditions and metabolic programming outcomes, enhancing understanding of placental biology.
- Armstrong's work also encompasses the characterization of immune responses in systemic lupus erythematosus through genetic analysis, highlighting the role of neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 mutations in disease risk and NADPH oxidase functionality.
