Exercise epigenetics and the foetal origins of disease [PDF]
Exercise epigenetics is a nascent area of research with vast health implications (e.g., from the treatment of obesity-related diseases to beneficially decoupling epigenetic and chronological age).

DNA methylation-associated colonic mucosal immune and defense responses in treatment-naïve pediatric ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are emerging globally, indicating that environmental factors may be important in their pathogenesis. Colonic mucosal epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, can occur in response to the environment and have been ...

IntroductionThe proportion of older adults within society is sharply increasing and a better understanding of how we age starts to be critical. However, given the paucity of longitudinal studies with both neuroimaging and epigenetic data, it remains ...

Age-dependent expression of DNMT1 and DNMT3B in PBMCs from a large European population enrolled in the MARK-AGE study [PDF]
Aging is associated with alterations in the content and patterns of DNA methylation virtually throughout the entire human lifespan. Reasons for these variations are not well understood.

DNA Methylation Analysis Validates Organoids as a Viable Model for Studying Human Intestinal Aging. [PDF]
Background & aimsThe epithelia of the intestine and colon turn over rapidly and are maintained by adult stem cells at the base of crypts. Although the small intestine and colon have distinct, well-characterized physiological functions, it remains ...

Analysis of the machinery and intermediates of the 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation pathway in aging on samples from the MARKAGE Study [PDF]
Gradual changes in the DNA methylation landscape occur throughout aging virtually in all human tissues. A widespread reduction of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), associated with highly reproducible site-specific hypermethylation, characterizes the genome in ...

Prenatal and early life influences on epigenetic age in children:a study of mother-offspring pairs from two cohort studies [PDF]
DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging are highly correlated with actual age. Departures of methylation-estimated age from actual age can be used to define epigenetic measures of child development or age acceleration (AA) in adults.

Epigenetic clocks derived from western samples differentially reflect Taiwanese health outcomes
Introduction: Several epigenetic clocks have been developed, with five measures of epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) especially receiving extensive investigations: HannumEAA, IEAA, PhenoEAA, GrimEAA, and DunedinPACE.

Women's perception, attitudes, and intended behavior towards predictive epigenetic risk testing for female cancers in 5 European countries: A cross-sectional online survey [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic markers might be used for risk-stratifying cancer screening and prevention programs in the future. Although the clinical utility of consequent epigenetic tests for risk stratification is yet to be proven, successful adoption into ...
