Re‐conceptualizing Parkinson's disease as a lifelong neurobiological trajectory: A framework for prevention

open access: yesNeuroprotection
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. No disease‐modifying therapies exist. This review proposes that PD susceptibility begins with epigenetic changes and neuroimmune activity—factors that alter gene expression ...

Epigenetic Modulation of IL-7 and IL-10: Toward Personalized Immune Therapies in Viral Epidemics. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Immunol Res
Background Host immune responses, including cytokine production, shape the severity of viral epidemics. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation regulate cytokine gene expression and may contribute to immune dysregulation in severe disease. Methods This study analyzed interleukin‐7 (IL‐7), IL‐8, and IL‐10 promoter methylation in 145 COVID‐19 ...

Epigenetic regulation in lung cancer

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Role of epigenetics in lung cancer. Epigenetics is considered the main cause of lung cancer. Epigenetics is categorized into three phenomena: histone modification, DNA methylation, and noncoding RNAs. One of the main approaches to controlling lung cancer is early diagnosis.

The females' response to male attractiveness: Mate choice, larvae production and differential brain protein expression

open access: yesEthology, Volume 129, Issue 10, Page 515-526, October 2023., 2023
Our study in Tenebrio molitor employed behavioral and proteomic analyses to establish a correlation between female mate choice and molecular changes in the female brain. We found that females preferred mating with more attractive males, who in turn had a greater likelihood of successfully mating and producing more larvae with attractive males than with

Valproic acid and bladder healing: an experimental study in rats

open access: yesRevista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões, 2022
Purpose: to recognize the effects of valproic acid (VPA), an epigenetic drug, on the bladder healing process, in rats. Method: twenty male Wistar rats were divided in two groups: experimental (A), treated with VPA (150mg/Kg/day), and control (B) with ...

Ageing And Cancer As Diseases Of Epigenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cancer and ageing are often said to be diseases of development. During the past fifty years, the genetic components of cancer and ageing have been intensely investigated since development, itself, was seen to be an epiphenomenon of the genome.

Patterns of Reliability: Assessing the Reproducibility and Integrity of DNA Methylation Measurement

open access: yesPatterns, 2020
Summary: DNA methylation plays an important role in both normal human development and risk of disease. The most utilized method of assessing DNA methylation uses BeadChips, generating an epigenome-wide “snapshot” of >450,000 observations (probe ...

Epigenetics: What it is about? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Epigenetics has captured the attention of scientists in the past decades, yet its scope has been continuously changing. In this paper, we give an overview on how and why its definition has evolved and suggest several clarification on the concepts used in

Relationship between the expression level of microRNA and the features of clinical course of the gallbladder and Оddi's sphincter functional disorders in children

open access: yesZaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2019
The aim of the work is to establish the relationship between the expression levels of microRNA-378f, microRNA-4311, microRNA-4714-3p and anamnestic, clinical and paraclinical parameters of functional disorders of the gallbladder and Oddi's sphincter (FD ...
