Extending Epigenesis: From Phenotypic Plasticity to the Bio-Cultural Feedback [PDF]

, 2017
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.

Reminiscences on the honeybee genome project and the rise of epigenetic concepts in insect science

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 444-456, October 2024.
The honeybee genome project was an important milestone in social insect research that opened new possibilities for the community's quest to study social evolution at molecular and cellular levels. Among new lines of research, the epigenomic modifications to DNA, histones and RNAs gained special prominence as potential drivers of phenotypic and ...

Introduction: sketches of a conceptual history of epigenesis

, 2018
This is an introduction to a collection of articles on the conceptual history of epigenesis, from Aristotle to Harvey, Cavendish, Kant and Erasmus Darwin, moving into nineteenth-century biology with Wolff, Blumenbach and His, and onto the twentieth ...

Ion Channel Dysregulation in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapeutic Advances

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Ion channels are fundamental to neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and the coordinated development of brain circuits. Disruptions in their function—collectively termed ion channelopathies—have emerged as central mechanisms underlying a broad ...

Man and embryo: Historicizing ideas about humanity in the study of reproduction, 18th–19th centuries

Sociology Lens, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 329-347, September 2024.
Abstract This article is concerned with historicizing the idea that all people belong to a single collective of biological human beings. It analyzes implications and changes in the concept of “Man” over the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the study of reproduction and embryos.

EEG functional connectivity as a Riemannian mediator: An application to malnutrition and cognition

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 45, Issue 7, May 2024.
This study introduces a novel mediation analysis approach using EEG cross‐spectra to investigate whether malnourishment affects children's cognitive performance. The results indicate that brain function across delta, theta, alpha, and beta band frequencies mediates the impact of malnourishment on cognitive performance in specific brain regions ...

Abnormal methylation mediated upregulation of LINC00857 boosts malignant progression of lung adenocarcinoma by modulating the miR‐486‐5p/NEK2 axis

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2024.
Low methylation of LINC00857 in the promoter region led to its high expression. Knockdown of LINC00857 restrained lymph node metastasis and stimulated radiosensitivity of LUAD cells. LINC00857 acted as a ceRNA, regulating NEK2 expression by binding to miR‐486‐5p.

Reclaiming the History of the Epigenesis of Scientific Knowledge: From Aristotle’s Theory to Kant’s Abstract Epigenesis of Pure Reason and Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology

Scholarly debate persists over whether Aristotle explicitly used the term epigenesis (ἐπιγένεσις). What is beyond doubt, however, is that he originated the concept itself, already implicit in his distinction between potency (dynamis, δύναμις) and act ...

Epigenetic associations of GPNMB rs199347 variant with alcohol consumption in Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Psychiatry
IntroductionAlcohol consumption can induce a neuroinflammatory response and contribute to the progression of neurodegeneration. However, its association with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, remains ...
