The pregnancy vaginal microbiome contributes to risk of preterm birth, the primary cause of death in children under 5 years of age. Here we describe direct on-swab metabolic profiling by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) for sample preparation-free characterisation of...
INTRODUCTION: Restricted or enhanced intrauterine growth is associated with elevated risks of early and late metabolic problems in humans. Metabolomics based on amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profile may have a role in fetal and early postnatal energy metabolism. In this ...
Piglet birth weight is a key determinant of preweaning survival and subsequent growth performance, yet the role of maternal gut microbiota in relation to offspring birth weight in sows remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal gut microbi...
This dataset presents longitudinal urinary metabolomic profiles from 198 children at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. It includes demographic data, feeding practices, parental atopy, household income and atopic disease status over time. Total and allergen-specific IgE (mite, egg, c...
Rural communities in resource-limited settings are exposed to seasonal patterns in food insecurity. The pre- and early post-natal period is a key developmental window, sensitive to nutritional availability and quality. While season of birth has been associated with differences in epigenetic, deve...
