Natural environments, nature relatedness and the ecological theater: connecting satellites and sequencing to shinrin-yoku

Mechanisms-including aerobiological and epigenetic-that might help explain some of the noted positive health outcomes

Effects of maternal dietary egg intake during early lactation on human milk ovalbumin concentration: A randomized controlled trial

Increased maternal egg ingestion is associated with increased breastmilk ovalbumin, and markers of immune tolerance in infants

Neonatal antigen-presenting cells are functionally more quiescent in children born under traditional compared with modern environmental conditions

One explanation for the high burden of allergic and autoimmune diseases in industrialized countries is inappropriate immune development under modern...

In “high-risk” infants with sufficient vitamin d status at birth, infant vitamin D supplementation had no effect on allergy outcomes: A randomized controlled trial

Early infancy oral vitamin D supplementation does not appear to reduce the development of early childhood allergic disease

Validation of monoclonal anti-PKC isozyme antibodies for flow cytometry analyses in human T cell subsets and expression in cord blood T cells

We have undertaken to validating the specificity of commercially available antibodies marketed for flow cytometry to measure PKCα, βI, βII, δ, ε, η, θ, ζ, ι/λ and μ

Analytical bias in the measurement of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in infants

To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type

High-Rise Apartments and Urban Mental Health—Historical and Contemporary Views

High-rise apartment buildings have long been associated with the poor mental health of their residents

Blood DNA methylation biomarkers predict clinical reactivity in food-sensitized infants

The diagnosis of food allergy (FA) can be challenging because approximately half of food-sensitized patients are asymptomatic.

Epigenetics in immune development and in allergic and autoimmune diseases

This paper is a review about the importance of alterations to the DNA molecule, rather than the DNA sequence, in the development of the immune system, and...

Effects of maternal n-3 fatty acid supplementation on placental cytokines, pro-resolving lipid mediators and their precursors

The aim of this study was to determine whether supplementation with fish oil-derived n-3 PUFA during pregnancy modifies modifies placental PUFA composition...
