Epigenetic Modulation of IL-7 and IL-10: Toward Personalized Immune Therapies in Viral Epidemics. [PDF]
Background Host immune responses, including cytokine production, shape the severity of viral epidemics. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation regulate cytokine gene expression and may contribute to immune dysregulation in severe disease. Methods This study analyzed interleukin‐7 (IL‐7), IL‐8, and IL‐10 promoter methylation in 145 COVID‐19 ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. No disease‐modifying therapies exist. This review proposes that PD susceptibility begins with epigenetic changes and neuroimmune activity—factors that alter gene expression ...

Evolving Lessons on Metazoan Primordial Germ Cells in Diversity and Development. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Germ cells are pivotal for the continuation of biological species. The metazoan germline develops from primordial germ cells (PGCs) that undergo multiple rounds of mitotic divisions. The PGCs are specified by either maternal inheritance of asymmetrically polarized cytoplasmic mRNAs/proteins (found in roundworms, flies, fishes, frogs, and fowl)

Genetic and epigenetic aspects of the and genes in pubertal development and central precocious puberty: A review [PDF]
The onset of puberty is a pivotal developmental milestone, and the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone is a key factor in the initiation of puberty. Both kisspeptin and its receptor (KISS1) and KISS1 receptor (KISS1R)

The Locus of Affection. Intersubjective Life from Enaction to Epigenesis [PDF]
How is it possible for me to engage in an intersubjective world? In enactivism, cognition is defined as the living system’s interaction with the meaningful world. What is missing, here, is the conceptualization of intersubjectivity.

Patterns of Reliability: Assessing the Reproducibility and Integrity of DNA Methylation Measurement
Summary: DNA methylation plays an important role in both normal human development and risk of disease. The most utilized method of assessing DNA methylation uses BeadChips, generating an epigenome-wide “snapshot” of >450,000 observations (probe ...

UNIQUE ULTRA-RICH RARE METAL ORES OF THE TOMTOR COMPLEX AND PROBLEM OF THEIR GENESIS [PDF]
Main genetic models of the formation of ultra-rich rare metal ores of the Tomtor deposit (Yakutia) are compared on the basis of their structural-textural features, mineral composition, and geologic setting: 1) reducing epigenesis of laterite weathering ...
