Epigenetic DNA changes and stem cells therapy [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2013
We are starting to understand the fundamental biological processes which underlie the DNA physical properties. Of particular importance is the field of epigenetics, which literally means 'outside conventional genetics', now used to describe the study ...

Quercetin as an Emerging Anti-Melanoma Agent: A four-focus area therapeutic development strategy

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2016
Replacing current refractory treatments for melanoma with new prevention and therapeutic approaches is crucial in order to successfully treat this aggressive cancer form. Melanoma develops from neural crest cells, which express tyrosinase -- a key enzyme

Juvenile methylphenidate reduces prefrontal cortex plasticity via D3 receptor and BDNF in adulthood

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
Background: Early drug intervention in childhood disorders aims to maximize individual potential in the short- and long-term. Consistently, juvenile exposure to psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate (MPH), reduces risk for substance use in animals ...

Extending Epigenesis: From Phenotypic Plasticity to the Bio-Cultural Feedback [PDF]

, 2017
The paper aims at proposing an extended notion of epigenesis acknowledging an actual causal import to the phenotypic dimension for the evolutionary diversification of life forms.

A network analysis of crab metamorphosis and the hypothesis of development as a process of unfolding of an intensive complexity

Scientific Reports, 2021
Development has intrigued humanity since ancient times. Today, the main paradigm in developmental biology and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the genetic program, in which development is explained by the interplay and interaction of ...

Genome-wide DNA methylation and long-term ambient air pollution exposure in Korean adults

Clinical Epigenetics, 2019
Background Ambient air pollution is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood; epigenetic effects including altered DNA methylation could play a role. To evaluate associations of long-term air

Developmental Systems Theory as a Process Theory [PDF]

, 2018
Griffiths and Russell D. Gray (1994, 1997, 2001) have argued that the fundamental unit of analysis in developmental systems theory should be a process – the life cycle – and not a set of developmental resources and interactions between those resources ...
