Marine-Derived Secondary Metabolites as Promising Epigenetic Bio-Compounds for Anticancer Therapy
Sessile organisms such as seaweeds, corals, and sponges continuously adapt to both abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. This extremely complex and dynamic process often results in different forms of competition to ensure the maintenance of an ...

Abstract Regulatory genetic toxicology focuses on DNA damage and subsequent gene mutations. However, genotoxic agents can also affect epigenetic marks, and incorporation of epigenetic data into the regulatory framework may thus enhance the accuracy of risk assessment.

Cerebral Organoids Recapitulate Epigenomic Signatures of the Human Fetal Brain
Organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells recapitulate the early three-dimensional organization of the human brain, but whether they establish the epigenomic and transcriptional programs essential for brain development is unknown.

Ezh2-dCas9 and KRAB-dCas9 enable engineering of epigenetic memory in a context-dependent manner. [PDF]
BackgroundRewriting of the epigenome has risen as a promising alternative to gene editing for precision medicine. In nature, epigenetic silencing can result in complete attenuation of target gene expression over multiple mitotic divisions.

Impact of Endocrine‐Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) Used in the Food Industry on Endocrine Abnormalities
This review was conducted to examine the relationship between hormone disruption and other endocrine abnormalities in the context of the constant consumption of genetically modified foods and overexposure to chemicals used directly and indirectly in the agrifood industry.

Summary: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) show variable differentiation potential due to their epigenomic heterogeneity, whose extent/attributes remain unclear, except for well-studied elements/chromosomes such as imprints and the X ...

A hitchhiker's guide to single‐cell epigenomics: Methods and applications for cancer research
Abstract Genetic mutations are well known to influence tumorigenesis, tumor progression, treatment response and relapse, but the role of epigenetic variation in cancer progression is still largely unexplored. The lack of epigenetic understanding in cancer evolution is in part due to the limited availability of methods to examine such a heterogeneous ...

Insertion of short L1 sequences generates inter-strain histone acetylation differences in the mouse
Background Gene expression divergence between populations and between individuals can emerge from genetic variations within the genes and/or in the cis regulatory elements.

Epigenomics‐guided precision oncology: Chromatin variants in prostate tumor evolution
Abstract Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that in 5%–30% leads to treatment‐resistant and highly aggressive disease. Metastasis‐potential and treatment‐resistance is thought to rely on increased plasticity of the cancer cells—a mechanism whereby cancer cells alter their identity to adapt to changing environments or therapeutic pressures to create
