Almost 2 billion adults in the world are overweight, and more than half of them are classified
as obese, while nearly one-third of children globally experience poor growth and …

Maternal and paternal factors influence offspring development and program its genome for
successful postnatal life. Based on the stressors during gestation, the pregnant female …

Children born small for gestational age (SGA), defined as a birth weight and/or length
below− 2 SD score (SDS), comprise a heterogeneous group. The causes of SGA are …

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with reduced β2 adrenergic
sensitivity, which contributes to poor postnatal muscle growth. The objective of this study …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) arises when maternal stressors coincide with peak
placental development, leading to placental insufficiency. When the expanding nutrient …

Compelling epidemiological and animal experimental data demonstrate that
cardiometabolic and neuropsychiatric diseases originate in a suboptimal intrauterine …

Lung development is not completed at birth, but expands beyond infancy, rendering the lung
highly susceptible to injury. Exposure to various influences during a critical window of organ …

The impact of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on health in humans is well-recognized.
It is the second leading cause of perinatal mortality worldwide, and it is associated with …

Summary tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are an emerging class of small non-coding RNAs
with distinct cellular functions. Here, we studied the contribution of tRFs to the regulation of …

Maternal low-protein diet (LP) throughout gestation affects pancreatic β-cell fraction of the
offspring at birth, thus increasing their susceptibility to metabolic dysfunction and type 2 …
