The moderating and mediating role of the placenta in the association between prenatal exposure to air pollutants and birth weight: A twin study.

Prenatal exposure to air pollution has been linked to lower birth weight, yet the role of the placenta in this association is often overlooked. This study investigates whether placental characteristics act as moderators or mediators in the association between prenatal exposure to particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) and birth weight in twins. The study included 3340 twins (born 2002-2013) from the East Flanders Prospective Twin Survey.

Aims: Vertebrates vary greatly in their abilities to regenerate injured hearts. Zebrafish possess a remarkable capacity for cardiac regeneration, making them an excellent model for regeneration research. Recent studies have reported the activation and underlying regulatory mechanisms of leptin b (lepb) and the leptin b-linked enhancer (LEN) in injured hearts.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Jichi Medical University School of Medicine.
Time-space network hypertension is a data science approach that connects diverse information related to hypertension within a time-space framework. This field of academic research aims to predict disease onset and direct effective, individualized, optimized treatments by integrating and analyzing the variability of multiple internal biological and external environmental signals as they relate to blood pressure variability across different time phases. By linking time series changes in blood pressure and biological distribution with multi-environmental and physiological information, enabled by advances in digital technology, the time-space network hypertension approach contributes to "digital hypertension" research.

Sensory prediction and repetition suppression are closely related cognitive mechanisms that allow the brain to form predictions about the environment, and guide perception in synergy with attention. Predictive coding is a theory of the fundamental role of predictive mechanisms in brain functions. Authors have proposed a central role of predictive impairments in autism and possibly other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Department of Experimental Clinical and Health Psychology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium. Electronic address:
Telomere length (TL) is considered a biomarker of aging, and short TL in leukocytes is related to age and stress-related health problems. Cumulative lifetime stress exposure has also been associated with shorter TL and age-related health problems, but the mechanisms are not well understood. We tested in 108 individuals whether shorter TL in leukocytes is observed in individuals with the GABRA6 TT genotype, which has been associated with dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity (the main biological stress system) compared to the CC genotype.
