Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Journal of General Virology, 2019 Alkylation B (AlkB) proteins are ubiquitous among diverse cellular organisms, where they act to reverse the damage in DNA and RNA due to methylation, such as 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine. This process is found in virtually all forms of life, with the notable exception of archaea and yeast.

ALKBH5‐Driven m6A Demethylation Boosts Inflammation and Autophagy in LPS‐Stimulated Macrophages
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains a critical health threat with limited pharmacological treatments. This study investigates the role of the N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) in alveolar macrophages and its subsequent impact on inflammation and autophagy during ARDS pathogenesis.

RNA Regulatory Networks: Key Hubs in the Panorama of Cancer and Emerging Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.RNA regulatory networks play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancer through various modes of RNA interactions. Notably, circulating RNAs have emerged as potential biomarkers, while targeted interventions in RNA regulatory networks facilitate precise therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Cancer is a global health challenge. The initiation

Higher expression of somatic repair genes in long-lived ant queens than workers. [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding why organisms senesce is a fundamental question in biology. One common explanation is that senescence results from an increase in macromolecular damage with age.

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications
MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

DNA glycosylases: in DNA repair and beyond [PDF]
, 2018 The base excision repair machinery protects DNA in cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, alkylation, and deamination; it is specialized to fix single-base damage in the form of small chemical modifications. Base modifications can be mutagenic and/
