DNA methylation analysis of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene in major depression. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) has been repeatedly discussed as susceptibility factor for major depression (MD) and the bi-directional relation between MD and cardiovascular disorders (CVD).

Streamlined quantitative analysis of histone modification abundance at nucleosome-scale resolution with siQ-ChIP version 2.0

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
We recently introduced an absolute and physical quantitative scale for chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq). The scale itself was determined directly from measurements routinely made on sequencing samples without additional ...

An Epigenetic Role of Mitochondria in Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2022
Mitochondria are not only the main energy supplier but are also the cell metabolic center regulating multiple key metaborates that play pivotal roles in epigenetics regulation.

Epigenetics of Royalty

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2010
Imagine—you’ve just been born, and your future looks bleak. After an all-too brief infancy when you’ll be cared for and fed, you’ll be forced into child labour, cleaning a dark and crowded home and caring for your many siblings. You’ll be subsequently put on guard duty to defend your home against vicious intruders. If you survive, you’ll spend the rest

The physics of epigenetics [PDF]

open access: yesReviews of Modern Physics, 2016
In higher organisms, all cells share the same genome, but every cell expresses only a limited and specific set of genes that defines the cell type. During cell division, not only the genome, but also the cell type is inherited by the daughter cells.

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Dynamics of cell-type transition mediated by epigenetic modifications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Maintaining tissue homeostasis requires appropriate regulation of stem cell differentiation. The Waddington landscape posits that gene circuits in a cell form a potential landscape of different cell types, wherein cells follow attractors of the probability landscape to develop into distinct cell types.

The Impact of Nutrition and Environmental Epigenetics on Human Health and Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Environmental epigenetics describes how environmental factors affect cellular epigenetics and, hence, human health. Epigenetic marks alter the spatial conformation of chromatin to regulate gene expression.

Epigenetic regulation of adaptive responses of forest tree species to the environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute to the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity of plant species, and may be especially important for long-lived organisms with complex life cycles, including forest trees.
