Epigenome-wide association study reveals longitudinally stable DNA methylation differences in CD4+ T cells from children with IgE-mediated food allergy

Food allergy is mediated by a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors, potentially mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.

Food for thought: progress in understanding the causes and mechanisms of food allergy

Treatments for food allergy are still lacking, yet progress is being made, and immunotherapy appears more effective than dietary avoidance.

Assessment of cardiometabolic risk in children in population studies: underpinning developmental origins of health and disease mother–offspring cohort studies

Pregnancy and birth cohorts have been utilised extensively to investigate the developmental origins of health and disease, particularly in relation to...

Associations between maternal antioxidant intakes in pregnancy and infant allergic outcomes

Antioxidant intakes in pregnancy may influence fetal immune programming and the risk of allergic disease.

Prenatal omega-3 fatty acid supplementation does not affect offspring telomere length and F2-isoprostanes at 12 years: A double blind, randomized controlled trial

Maternal n-3 LCPUFA supplementation did not provide sustained effects on postnatal oxidative stress and telomere length as observed in the offspring

Pre- and probiotics for allergy prevention: time to revisit recommendations?

We discuss how the choice of probiotic strains, timing and duration of administration can critically influence the outcome due to different effects on immune modulation and gut microbiota composition

The Microbiome and Mental Health: Looking Back, Moving Forward with Lessons from Allergic Diseases

The microbiome is intimately connected to diet, nutrition, and other lifestyle variables

Immune-Microbiota Interactions: Dysbiosis as a Global Health Issue

The implications of the microbiome extend to virtually every branch of medicine, biopsychosocial and environmental sciences

Early Nutrition as a Major Determinant of 'Immune Health': Implications for Allergy, Obesity and Other Noncommunicable Diseases

A better understanding of nutritional programming of immune health may lead to dietary strategies that reduce the burden of many inflammatory diseases

Biodiversity, the Human Microbiome and Mental Health: Moving toward a New Clinical Ecology for the 21st Century?

With a focus on the microbiome as it pertains to mental health, we define environmental “grey space” and emphasize a new frontier involving bio-eco-psychological medicine
