Population-specific heterogeneity in ontogeny of the broadly-conserved blood transcriptional program during the first week of life

Previous research has shown that immune development during the first week of life, i.e. ontogeny, is progressive, consistent and robust, involving large numbers of differentially expressed genes at each sampled time point.

Reduced Prevalence of Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycemia Over Two Decades in Population-Based Samples of Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

To investigate the change in prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) across three cohorts (2002, 2015, and 2024) in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Access and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remain suboptimal, particularly in rural and remote settings. This study evaluated the implementation of person-centred, evidence-based CR delivery model tailored to improve access and completion.

Long term lung health in children: new emerging threats and preventive strategies

The long-term consequences of early adverse exposures are well known but is becoming clear that early means not just in pregnancy but also in at least the two preceding generations. Furthermore, there are new existential threats to long term respiratory health, some of which have been presented at the INSPiRED meeting in Bologna and are reviewed in this manuscript.

Exploring User Experiences With the Lift App for Emotional Well-Being Among Youth With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study

Individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at an increased risk of experiencing psychological distress; however, there remains a scarcity of scalable and widely accessible support services, particularly for adolescents and young adults. To address this gap, digital mental health interventions are becoming an increasingly important area of innovation in diabetes care.

More Convergence on Coercion: Reflecting on Vaccine Mandates in 2026; A Response to Recent Commentaries

Concentrations of selected human milk components influence the infant oral microbiome to a greater degree than estimated intakes

Human milk is characterised by its complex composition, consisting of nutrient and bioactive components that play a crucial role in infant health. Although the infant oral cavity is directly exposed to these components during breastfeeding, their effects on the developing oral microbiome remains underexplored.

"The absolute dearth of resources": Challenges and unmet support needs for emerging adult siblings of individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions in regional and remote Australia
