Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.

Background and purpose Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered to be a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. After TBI, innate immunity is rapidly activated in response to damage‐associated molecular patterns, such as ATP release, recognised by P2X7 receptors.

Transcription‐coupled repair: tangled up in convoluted repair
In this review, we discuss recent findings derived from diverse genomic, biochemical and structural, imaging, and functional studies (B–E) that culminated in deep mechanistic insight (A) into the vital cellular process of transcription‐coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC‐NER).

A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

The TP53 tumor suppressor gene: From molecular biology to clinical investigations
Abstract Extensively studied over the past four decades, the TP53 gene has emerged as a pivotal watchman in cellular defense and a key factor in cancer biology. TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human malignancies, 50% of which carry alterations to it.

ABSTRACT Introduction Fixed orthodontic appliances (OAs) expose the oral mucosa to mechanical traumas and metal ions throughout the whole orthodontic therapy. This review aims to understand the cytological and genetic changes consequent to fixed orthodontic therapy, their clinical implications, and how they can be assessed.
