Health-related quality of life in children born preterm at school age: the mediating role of social support and maternal stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Research on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of school-aged children born preterm (< 37 weeks of gestational age) is scarce and there are few studies examining the relationship with medical and family factors. The ... -
RPA guides UNG to uracil in ssDNA to facilitate antibody class switching and repair of mutagenic uracil at the replication fork
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) interacts with replication protein A (RPA), the major ssDNA-binding protein, to promote deamination of cytosine to uracil in transcribed immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. Uracil-DNA ... -
A systematic review of progranulin concentrations in biofluids in over 7,000 people—assessing the pathogenicity of GRN mutations and other influencing factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Pathogenic heterozygous mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) are a key cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), leading to significantly reduced biofluid concentrations of the progranulin protein (PGRN). This ... -

Intelligence and executive function are associated with age at insult, time post-insult, and disability following chronic pediatric acquired brain injury
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Pediatric acquired brain injury (pABI) profoundly affects cognitive functions, encompassing IQ and executive functions (EFs). Particularly, young age at insult may lead to persistent and debilitating deficits, ... -
Physical activity and cognitive function in adults born very preterm or with very low birth weight–an individual participant data meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Objective Individuals born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestation) or with very low birthweight (<1500g) have lower cognitive function compared with term-born peers. Furthermore, some studies suggest that they are less ... -
Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Risk Calculators to Predict Prostate Cancer Risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Importance Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based risk calculators can replace or augment traditional prostate cancer (PCa) risk prediction tools. However, few data are available comparing performance of different MRI-based ... -
Covalent PARylation of DNA base excision repair proteins regulates DNA demethylation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The intracellular ATP-ribosyltransferases PARP1 and PARP2, contribute to DNA base excision repair (BER) and DNA demethylation and have been implicated in epigenetic programming in early mammalian development. Recently, ... -
Does the ypTNM-stage adequately predict long-term survival rates in gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical resection?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for resectable gastric cancer, the prognostic adequacy of the UICC staging system needs to be investigated. In particular to explore whether the ypTNM curves for ... -
