Long-term increased risks of arrhythmia and heart failure were found in breast cancer patients, while systemic adjuvant therapies including trastuzumab and anthracyclines were associated with the increased risk of heart failure.

A catalogue of associations between DNA methylation and gene expression in children will improve the interpretation of Epigenome-Wide Association Studies.

259 CpGs associated with season of conception in rural Gambians constitute a valuable resource for investigating epigenetic mechanisms linking early exposures to lifelong health and disease.

A smartphone app incorporating clinical prediction models using patient-specific and location-specific data sources in a modular approach could predict viral-only etiology of diarrhea in children under five in Bangladesh and Mali.

Protracted systemic and microvascular inflammation, as well as high anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels, is associated with a high risk of persistent structural and functional lung deficits 6 months after COVID-19.

Epigenetic scores for blood protein levels identify those at risk of multiple age-related morbidities, up to 14 years prior to onset.

Associations between plasma protein levels and DNA methylation patterns can be used to predict the onset of age-related chronic disease.

A systematic review with multilevel modelling quantified the positive association between human antibodies to Anopheles salivary proteins with Anopheles-human biting rate and epidemiological measures of malaria transmission, highlighting their potential as a tool to measure vector exposure and malaria transmission.

DunedinPACE is a novel DNA methylation biomarker of the pace of biological aging for intervention trials and natural experiment studies investigating how the rate of aging may be changed by behavioral or drug therapy, or by environmental modification.

Cumulative exposure to adverse childhood experiences is associated with lower adult resilience among women in a dose-dependent manner, independent of adult socioeconomic factors and social support, indicating that adult female resilience is consolidated in early life.
