Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

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

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-

The Silent Link: Exploring the Impact of Periodontal Diseases on Head and Neck Carcinogenesis

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Oral dysbiosis can accelerate the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by fostering a pro‐inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and metabolically altered environment. This narrative review examines the relationships between periodontitis‐associated bacteria and HNSCC, focusing on their impact on oncogenic pathways,

The Role of N6‐Methyladenosine Modification in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in eukaryotes, acting as a pivotal epitranscriptomic regulator of RNA metabolism. This modification plays a dual role: it maintains physiological homeostasis under normal conditions but drives disease progression when dysregulated.

Oxidative Stress and DNA Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapeutics

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), ten‐eleven translocation family proteins (TETs) and their cofactors, reshaping 5‐methylcytosine (5mC)/5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)/5‐formylcytosine (5fC) landscapes and gene expression in cancer cells. In turn, epigenetic control of antioxidant and metabolic pathways feeds back on
