Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Discordance in monozygotic Parkinson's disease twins – continuum or dichotomy?
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019 Differences in concordance rates between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been used to estimate genetic influences in PD pathogenesis.

Does Early Life Health Predict Schooling Within Twin Pairs? [PDF]
A large number of studies in labor economics estimate the returns to schooling using data on monozygotic twins, under the assumption that educational attainment is random within twin pairs. This exogeneity assumption has been commonly questioned, however,

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1489-1497, 15 March 2026.What's new? Breast cancer results from a combination of genetic and environmental causes, and the cumulative effect of stressful life events may be a contributing factor. Here, the authors analyzed data from cohort and twin‐pair studies including 36 years of follow‐up to find out how stressful life events affect breast cancer risk. They found that even

Beyond DNA: Epigenetics and Proteomics in Forensic Science [PDF]
, 2016 The use of genetic evidence in criminal cases is well established and has improved the public opinion and credibility of forensic science. However, several shortcomings associated with current genetic profiling techniques exist. Scientific research aimed

The relationship between Hippocampal asymmetry and working memory processing in combat-related PTSD: a monozygotic twin study [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: PTSD is associated with reduction in hippocampal volume and abnormalities in hippocampal function. Hippocampal asymmetry has received less attention, but potentially could indicate lateralised differences in vulnerability to trauma.

Viruses in the fecal microbiota of monozygotic twins and their mothers
Nature, 2010 Viral diversity and life cycles are poorly understood in the human gut and other body habitats. Phages and their encoded functions may provide informative signatures of a human microbiota and of microbial community responses to various disturbances, and ...

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT To determine whether TXNDC15 variation causes Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MKS), we assessed the pathogenicity of the frameshift variant c.560delA. A CRISPR–Cas9 generated mouse model carrying the equivalent Txndc15 c.512delA mutation was analyzed at embryonic day 15.5.
