The paper investigates the association between genomic copy number variants and chronic wound microbiome species, finding significant links and highlighting the role of structural genomic variation in shaping the microbiome.

The paper identifies CpG sites with methylation differences linked to Alzheimer's disease and metabolic comorbidities in Mexican American and Non-Hispanic White populations.

This study shows that acute exposure to cell-free mitochondrial DNA in pregnant rats causes aortic endothelial dysfunction and organ-specific inflammation, with partial TLR9 involvement.

This study shows that extracellular mitochondrial DNA induces sex-specific placental inflammation in rats, mediated partially by TLR9, with lasting effects on antioxidant enzymes and stillbirth risk.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with bacterial species in chronic wounds, revealing functional pathways and co-occurrence relationships that influence wound microbiome composition.

This study shows that gestational chronic intermittent hypoxia increases maternal inflammation, alters EV characteristics, and disrupts placental stress responses in rats without affecting fetal growth.

The paper investigates how genetic regulation of tissue expression influences chronic wound microbiome composition through a microbiome-transcriptome-wide association study.

This study shows oxidative stress induces mtDNA release and non-apoptotic cell death in BeWo trophoblast cells, with implications for placental pathology and ccf-mtDNA biomarkers.

This paper presents STRspy, a method for accurate STR profiling using nanopore sequencing, achieving 100% concordance with validated genotypes and identifying flanking SNPs with >90% accuracy.
