    • Association between indicators of systemic inflammation biomarkers during puberty with breast density and ... 
      Michels, Karin B.; Keller, Kristen; Pereira, Ana; Kim, Claire E.; Santos, José L.; Shepherd, John A.; Corvalán, Camila; Binder, Alexandra M. (BMC, 2020)
      Background Systemic inflammation may play a role in shaping breast composition, one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. Pubertal development presents a critical window of breast tissue susceptibility to exogenous ...
    • Childhood and adolescent phenol and phthalate exposure and the age of menarche in Latina girls 
      Binder, Alexandra M.; Corvalán Aguilar, Camila; Calafat, Antonia M.; Ye, Xiaoyun; Mericq, Verónica; Pereira Scalabrino, Ana; Michels, Karin B. (BIOMED Central Ltd., 2018)
      Background: The age of menarche has been associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer risk. The decline in menarcheal age over the past century may be partially attributable to increased exposure ...
    • Dairy intake in relation to breast and pubertal development in chilean girls 
      Gaskins, Audrey J.; Pereira Scalabrino, Ana; Quintiliano Scarpelli, Daiana; Shepherd, John A.; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; Corvalán Aguilar, Camila; Michels, Karin B. (American Society for Nutrition, 2017-05-01)
      Background: Frequent dairy consumption in childhood has been related to higher growth-hormone concentrations that may affect mammary gland and pubertal development. Objective: We evaluated the relation of dairy intake ...
    • Effect of excessive gestational weight on daughters’ breast density at the end of puberty onset 
      López, Ana; Garmendia Miguel, María Luisa; Shepherd, John; Michels, Karin; Corvalán Aguilar, Camila; Pereira Scalabrino, Ana (Nature, 2020)
      The effect of excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) is related to adverse health outcomes in the offspring; however, its effect on the daughters' breast density is unclear. We aimed to assess the association between ...
    • Faster ticking rate of the epigenetic clock is associated with faster pubertal development in girls 
      Binder, Alexandra M.; Corvalán Aguilar, Camila; Mericq, Verónica; Pereira Scalabrino, Ana; Santos, José Luis; Horvath, Steve; Shepherd, John; Michels, Karin B. (Taylor & Francis, 2018)
      Epigenetic age is an indicator of biological aging, capturing the impact of environmental and behavioral influences across time on cellular function. Deviance between epigenetic age and chronological age (AgeAccel) is a ...
    • Inverse association between estrogen receptor-α DNA methylation and breast composition in adolescent Chilean girls 
      Binder, Alexandra M.; Stiemsma, Leah T.; Keller, Kristen; Van Otterdijk, Sanne D.; Mericq, Verónica; Pereira, Ana; Santos, José Luis; Shepherd, John; Michels, Karin B. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2018)
      © 2018 The Author(s). Background: Estrogen receptor-α (ER-α) is a transcriptional regulator, which mediates estrogen-dependent breast development, as well as breast tumorigenesis. The influence of epigenetic regulation of ...
