Here, we confirm four intercontinental species of avian trypanosomes in native Australian birds, and identify a new avian Trypanosoma.

Research

Two females with mutations in USP9X highlight the variable expressivity of the intellectual disability syndrome

The genetic causes of intellectual disability (ID) are heterogeneous and include both chromosomal and monogenic etiologies.

Long-term employment among people at ultra-high risk for psychosis

We sought to investigate the long-term unemployment rate and baseline predictors of employment status at follow-up in a large ultra-high risk cohort.

Environment Changes Genetic Effects on Respiratory Conditions and Allergic Phenotypes

Genotype-phenotype associations relating to bronchitis and allergy susceptibility are dependent on the environment

Research

Vitamin D supplementation of initially vitamin D-deficient mice diminishes lung inflammation with limited effects on pulmonary epithelial integrity

In disease settings, vitamin D may be important for maintaining optimal lung epithelial integrity and suppressing inflammation, but less is known of its effects prior to disease onset.

Parents’ interest in their child's education and children's outcomes in adolescence and adulthood: Does gender matter?

We found no evidence of gender-specific effects for the outcomes of academic achievement, educational expectations or educational attainment in adulthood.

Research

PGE2 pulsing of murine bone marrow cells reduces migration of daughter monocytes/macrophages in vitro and in vivo

Our results reveal long-lasting changes to progenitor cells of monocytes/macrophages by a 2-hour dimethyl PGE2 pulse that, in turn, limits the migration of their daughter cells to chemoattractants and inflammatory mediators.

Research

The correlation between central and peripheral oxytocin concentrations: A systematic review and meta-analysis

These results indicate a coordination of central and peripheral oxytocin release after stress and after intranasal administration
