Current status of genome‐wide epigenetic profiling of mammalian preimplantation embryos
Abstract Background Genome‐wide information on epigenetic modifications in mammalian preimplantation embryos was an unexplored sanctuary of valuable research insights protected by the difficulty of its analysis. However, that is no longer the case, and many epigenome maps are now available for sightseeing there.

The modern versus extended evolutionary synthesis : sketch of an intra-genomic gene's eye view for the evolutionary-genetic underpinning of epigenetic and developmental evolution [PDF]
Studying the phenotypic evolution of organisms in terms of populations of genes and genotypes, the Modern Synthesis (MS) conceptualizes biological evolution in terms of 'inter-organismal' interactions among genes sitting in the different individual ...

Epigenetic DNA changes and stem cells therapy [PDF]
We are starting to understand the fundamental biological processes which underlie the DNA physical properties. Of particular importance is the field of epigenetics, which literally means 'outside conventional genetics', now used to describe the study ...

Juvenile methylphenidate reduces prefrontal cortex plasticity via D3 receptor and BDNF in adulthood
Background: Early drug intervention in childhood disorders aims to maximize individual potential in the short- and long-term. Consistently, juvenile exposure to psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate (MPH), reduces risk for substance use in animals ...

Quercetin as an Emerging Anti-Melanoma Agent: A four-focus area therapeutic development strategy
Replacing current refractory treatments for melanoma with new prevention and therapeutic approaches is crucial in order to successfully treat this aggressive cancer form. Melanoma develops from neural crest cells, which express tyrosinase -- a key enzyme

The Pathogenesis of Endometriosis: Molecular and Cell Biology Insights
The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis is a multifactorial process resulting in a heterogeneous disease. Considering that endometriosis etiology and pathogenesis are still far from being fully elucidated, the current review aims to offer a comprehensive ...

Extending Epigenesis: From Phenotypic Plasticity to the Bio-Cultural Feedback [PDF]
The paper aims at proposing an extended notion of epigenesis acknowledging an actual causal import to the phenotypic dimension for the evolutionary diversification of life forms.
