Urticaria in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]
Journal of Allergy, 2012 Aim. To identify risk factors for urticaria, to determine the relative proportion of the susceptibility to urticaria that is due to genetic factors in an adult clinical twin sample, and to further determine whether the genetic susceptibility to urticaria overlaps with the genetic susceptibility to atopic diseases. Methods.

Epigenetic supersimilarity of monozygotic twin pairs
Genome Biology, 2018 Background Monozygotic twins have long been studied to estimate heritability and explore epigenetic influences on phenotypic variation. The phenotypic and epigenetic similarities of monozygotic twins have been assumed to be largely due to their genetic ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Molar incisor hypomineralisation: current knowledge and practice
International Dental Journal, EarlyView., 2020 Background Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected ...
