Targeting mutant p53 in cancer: the latest insights
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019 This commentary wishes to highlight the latest discoveries in the mutant p53 field that have been discussed in the 8th p53 Mutant Workshop 2019, held in Lyon. TP53 mutant (mutp53) proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of most human cancers.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Translational Research, 2015 Mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) contain tens of thousands of posttranscriptional chemical modifications. Among these, the N(6)-methyl-adenosine (m(6)A) modification is the most abundant and can be removed by specific mammalian enzymes.

Genome Biology, 2017 Background Circular RNAs are a class of endogenous RNAs with various functions in eukaryotic cells. Worthy of note, circular RNAs play a critical role in cancer. Currently, nothing is known about their role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

The microbiome in human skin aging
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Epigenetics and Nutrition [PDF]
MOJ Food Processing & Technology, 2018 In the last few years, the idea of food and nutrition has undergone radical changes. The paradigm defining food as a simple source of energy and body mass has evolved in a novel concept, in which nutrients can exert specific functions directly linked to human health. Several edibles contain biological active compounds that influence cellular, metabolic

Methylation of BRCA1 and MGMT genes in white blood cells are transmitted from mothers to daughters
Clinical Epigenetics, 2018 Background Constitutive methylation of tumor suppressor genes are associated with increased cancer risk. However, to date, the question of epimutational transmission of these genes remains unresolved.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

MicroRNAs and epigenetics [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2011 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise species of short noncoding RNA that regulate gene expression post‐transcriptionally. Recent studies have demonstrated that epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone modification, not only regulate the expression of protein‐encoding genes, but also miRNAs, such as let‐7a, miR‐9, miR‐34a, miR‐124, miR‐137 ...
