Understanding the genetic complexity of puberty timing across the allele frequency spectrum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Pubertal timing varies considerably and is associated with later health outcomes. We performed multi-ancestry genetic analyses on ~800,000 women, identifying 1,080 signals for age at menarche. Collectively, these explained ... -
Deletion of exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (Epac) causes defects in hippocampal signaling in female mice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-26)Previous studies demonstrate essential roles for the exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP 1 and 2 (Epac1 and Epac2; here collectively referred to as Epac) in the brain. In the hippocampus, Epac contributes to the ... -
Diagnostic Stewardship in Community-Acquired Pneumonia with Syndromic Molecular Testing: A Randomized Clinical Trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Importance Lower respiratory tract (LRT) infections, including community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), are a leading cause of hospital admissions and mortality. Molecular tests have the potential to optimize treatment decisions ... -
A rapid deployment valve option for failing Medtronic Freestyle full root: a single centre experience
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background There are several high-risk treatment options for valve failure of a biological full root replacement. When tailoring the best treatment option for the patient, implantation of a rapid deployment valve (RDV) ... -
Microbial aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia in hospitalised adults: A prospective study utilising comprehensive molecular testing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objectives This study aimed to describe the microbial aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults admitted to a tertiary care hospital and assess the impact of syndromic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels ... -
Loss of vimentin expression in preoperative biopsies independently predicts poor prognosis, lymph node metastasis and recurrence in endometrial cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Precise preoperative risk classification of endometrial cancer is crucial for treatment decisions. Existing clinical markers often fail to accurately predict lymph node metastasis and recurrence risk. Loss of ... -
Precision prognostics for cardiovascular disease in Type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of ... -
Safety of baricitinib in vaccinated patients with severe and critical COVID-19 sub study of the randomised Bari-SolidAct trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Background The Bari-SolidAct randomized controlled trial compared baricitinib with placebo in patients with severe COVID-19. A post hoc analysis revealed a higher incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) among ... -
The age-dependent regulation of pancreatic islet landscape is fueled by a HNF1a-immune signaling loop
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Animal longevity is a function of global vital organ functionality and, consequently, a complex polygenic trait. Yet, monogenic regulators controlling overall or organ-specific ageing exist, owing their conservation to ... -
Krill oil supplementation in vivo promotes increased fuel metabolism and protein synthesis in cultured human skeletal muscle cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction: Krill oil is a dietary supplement derived from Antarctic krill; a small crustacean found in the ocean. Krill oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic ... -
