TL;DR: This study documents vertical transfer of environmental and food-derived metabolites from mother to child and tracking of those metabolites through childhood, which may be of importance for the child’s later health and disease.

TL;DR: In this article , the influence of vertically transferred metabolites on risk of atopic diseases and infections during preschool age was investigated, and the results showed that vertically transferred metabolite transferred from mother to child increased the risk of developing atopic disease.

TL;DR: The Samsung LABGEO PT Hepatic Test 9 showed good precision and linearity when compared to established assays for 9 clinical test items and could be useful in cases where the POC testing is required.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present an approach to solve the problem of how to find the optimal set of features for a given set of tasks in order to solve a given problem.

TL;DR: This article investigated associations between steroid metabolites and incident respiratory infections in two pre-birth cohorts to identify novel metabolomic signatures of early infection proneness, and found that steroid metabolites across androgenic, corticosteroid, pregnenolone, and progestin classes were reduced in children that suffered more infections, and these patterns persisted at age 6 years.
