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

open access: yesComprehensive 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.

Dissection of the Mixl1 gene regulation network in endoderm development

open access: yes, 2023
Gastrulation, a key process in early embryonic development, involves the formation of the three germ layers that will eventually become all tissues of the adult mouse. The Mix paired-like homeobox (Mixl1) transcription factor, expressed in both mouse and

Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) Regulates 5β‐Reductase (AKR1D1) Expression in Avian Embryos: Implications for Yolk Steroid Metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 5, Page 456-461, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

The Role of N6‐Methyladenosine Modification in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, 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.

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...

A gene regulatory network controlling the embryonic specification of endoderm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Specification of endoderm is the prerequisite for gut formation in the embryogenesis of bilaterian organisms. Modern lineage labelling studies have shown that in the sea urchin embryo model system, descendants of the veg1 and veg2 cell lineages produce ...

Epigenetic Regulation in Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental and lifestyle exposures reshape the cardiovascular epigenome through coordinated regulation of DNA methylation, histone modifications, noncoding RNAs, and RNA methylation (m6A). These multilayered mechanisms drive enhancer‐centered regulatory network remodeling and epigenomic plasticity in cardiovascular diseases, highlighting emerging ...

Molecular Regulation of Vertebrate Early Endoderm Development

open access: yes, 2002
Detailed study of the ectoderm and mesoderm has led to increasingly refined understanding of molecular mechanisms that operate early in development to generate cellular diversity. More recently, a number of powerful studies have begun to characterize the

Comprehensive Integrated Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil the Dynamic Landscape of Betel Nut‐Associated Oral Mucosal Carcinogenesis and Its Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Betel nut chewing is a major etiological factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), yet its mechanistic underpinnings remain poorly defined. Here, we performed single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics from six OSCC patients to comprehensively dissect the tumor microenvironment (TME) dynamics and cellular heterogeneity ...
