Epigenetic epidemiology and alterations in type 2 diabetes and obesity
ype 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are multifactorial and polygenic metabolic diseases. Combinations of genetic and non-genetic risk factors such as risk SNPs, age, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity increase the risk for these diseases.

Epigenetic mechanisms in Tendon Ageing [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionTendon is a composite material with a well-ordered hierarchical structure exhibiting viscoelastic properties designed to transfer force. It is recognized that the incidence of tendon injury increases with age, suggesting a deterioration in homeostatic mechanisms or reparative processes.

Epigenetic clocks are the models, which use CpG methylation levels for the age prediction of an organism. Although there were several epigenetic clocks developed there is a demand for development and evaluation of the relatively accurate and sensitive ...

The Epigenetics of Aging in Invertebrates [PDF]
Aging is an unstoppable process coupled to the loss of physiological function and increased susceptibility to diseases. Epigenetic alteration is one of the hallmarks of aging, which involves changes in DNA methylation patterns, post-translational modification of histones, chromatin remodeling and non-coding RNA interference.

Background: ‘Epigenetic clocks’ have been developed to accurately predict chronologic gestational age and have been associated with child health outcomes in prior work. Methods: We meta-analysed results from four prospective U.S cohorts investigating the

Age-associated hyper-methylated regions in the human brain overlap with bivalent chromatin domains [PDF]
Recent associations between age-related differentially methylated sites and bivalently marked chromatin domains have implicated a role for these genomic regions in aging and age-related diseases. However, the overlap between such epigenetic modifications

Profiling age-related epigenetic markers of stomach adenocarcinoma in young and old subjects [PDF]
The purpose of our study is to identify epigenetic markers that are differently expressed in the stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) condition. Based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we were able to detect an age-related difference in methylation ...

Epigenetics of Aging and Aging-Associated Diseases [PDF]
Aging represents the multifactorial decline in physiological function of every living organism. Over the past decades, several hallmarks of aging have been defined, including epigenetic deregulation. Indeed, multiple epigenetic events were found altered across different species during aging.
