Dietary intervention modifies DNA methylation age assessed by the epigenetic clock [PDF]
Scope: Alterations in DNA methylation patterns are correlated with aging, environmental exposures and disease pathophysiology; the possibility of reverting or preventing these processes through dietary intervention is gaining momentum.

Infant’s DNA Methylation Age at Birth and Epigenetic Aging Accelerators
Knowing the biological age of the neonates enables us to evaluate and better understand the health and maturity comprehensively. However, because of dearth of biomarkers, it is difficult to quantify the neonatal biological age. Here we sought to quantify and assess the variability in biological age at birth and to better understand how the aging rates ...

Epigenetic aging in cows is accelerated by milk production
DNA methylation has proven to be the most promising age-predictive biomarker in mammals resulting in the emergence of 'epigenetic clocks' that describe the relationship between methylation levels and age. Using Targeted bisulfite Sequencing, we evaluated blood DNA-methylation data from 96 domesticated cows (Bos Taurus) of which 88 were adults and 8 ...

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 ...

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

Socioeconomic Position and DNA Methylation Age Acceleration across the Lifecourse. [PDF]
Accelerated DNA methylation age is linked to all-cause mortality and environmental factors, but studies of associations with socioeconomic position are limited.

Growth disrupting mutations in epigenetic regulatory molecules are associated with abnormalities of epigenetic aging. [PDF]
Germline mutations in fundamental epigenetic regulatory molecules including DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A) are commonly associated with growth disorders, whereas somatic mutations are often associated with malignancy.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
