Long non‐coding RNAs at the crossroads of inflammation, cancer and angiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a broad class of non‐protein‐coding RNAs, are characterized as new regulators of gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post‐transcriptional level. Thus, lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of physiological processes and the development of human diseases and cancer by modulating proinflammatory ...

The epigenetic landscape of skeletal muscle in response to exercise and aging

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression in response to exercise and aging, thereby supporting skeletal muscle plasticity. Acute exercise induces chromatin remodeling through histone modifications and DNA methylation, promoting the expression of exercise‐responsive genes.

Studies on CpG distribution in genomes

, 2013
MS, DBTESDNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays very important role in vertebrate genomes. In vertebrate genomes, DNA methylation occurs at CpG sites and leads to gene regulation, gene imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation and cancer.

The topography of nullomer-emerging mutations and their relevance to human disease

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Nullomers are short DNA sequences (11–18 base pairs) that are absent from a genome; however, they can emerge due to mutations. Here, we characterize all possible putative human nullomer-emerging single base pair mutations, population variants and disease-

Traditional serrated adenoma of the colorectum: Evolving concepts in histological classification and terminology

Histopathology, EarlyView.
The definition of the colorectal traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) has evolved to recognize a broader morphological spectrum, including classical, flat and mixed lesions reflecting early development and neoplastic progression. Updated WHO classification highlights the need for consistent terminology to improve recognition and to distinguish TSA from ...

DNA methylation correlates of chronological age in diverse human tissue types

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background While the association of chronological age with DNA methylation (DNAm) in whole blood has been extensively studied, the tissue-specificity of age-related DNAm changes remains an active area of research. Studies investigating the association of

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The aim of this narrative literature review was to identify epigenetic marks associated with periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. The literature was reviewed based on pre‐defined criteria. Cell type specific chromatin and mRNA modifications were included.

The Dual Face of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Foe, Friend or Both?

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum has established interactions with cancers in humans. However, contrary to a traditional view that these interactions are uniformly pro‐tumoural, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced role, where contact‐dependent and contact‐independent mechanisms may support either tumour progression or restriction depending on tumour site ...

Developmental Plasticity and Behavioural Evolution in Rodents: Insights From African Striped Mice (Rhabdomys)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Our review synthesizes how early‐life experiences shape behavioural development in rodents, drawing on developmental plasticity, non‐genetic inheritance and epigenetic mechanisms. Using African striped mice (Rhabdomys) and other small mammal systems as case studies, it presents an integrative framework linking parental care, developmental pathways and ...
