Early-life experiences profoundly shape brain development and long-term cognition. Environmental enrichment (EE) and social isolation (SI) represent opposing forms of stimulation and deprivation, yet the metabolic mechanisms connecting these conditions to cognitive outcomes remain poorly defined....
Exposure to synthetic and natural chemicals is a major environmental risk factor in the etiology of many chronic diseases. Investigating complex co-exposures is necessary for a holistic assessment in exposome-wide association studies. In this work, a sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass sp...
Early-life exposure to natural and synthetic chemicals can impact acute and chronic health conditions. Here, a suspect screening workflow anchored on high-resolution mass spectrometry was applied to elucidate xenobiotics in breast milk and matching stool samples collected from Nigerian mother-inf...
Blood metabolomics of 12-week-old female and male C57BL/6J mice that were exposed to either a control or an unhealthy high-fat/high-sugar (HFHS) diet during early-life, or early-life HFHS diet supplemented with a microbiota-targeted intervention (either a prebiotic combination (fructo-oligosaccha...
Background: Disturbances in the gut microbiome (GM) during the first year of life may contribute to allergy risk. This period is characterized by rapid microbial colonization, influenced by factors like delivery mode and infant feeding practices. This study investigates changes in key GM taxa and...
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) pose a significant challenge for aging surgical patients, with sevoflurane anesthesia being an identified risk factor. Time-restricted feeding (TRF), a dietary regimen, shows promise in mitigating age-related cognitive decline, but its efficacy and mec...
