Evolution of transgenerational immunity in invertebrates [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Over a decade ago, the discovery of transgenerational immunity in invertebrates shifted existing paradigms on the lack of sophistication of their immune system. Nonetheless, the prevalence of this trait and the ecological factors driving its evolution in invertebrates remain poorly understood.

Transgenerational Genetic Effects [PDF]
Epigenomics, 2010 Since Mendel, studies of phenotypic variation and disease risk have emphasized associations between genotype and phenotype among affected individuals in families and populations. Although this paradigm has led to important insights into the molecular basis for many traits and diseases, most of the genetic variants that control the inheritance of these ...

Transgenerational adaptation to hypoxia [PDF]
Science AdvancesEpigenetic inheritance alerts naïve descendants to prepare for stresses that could still be present, whereas distant descendants return to a basal state after several generations without stress. However, organisms are frequently exposed to stresses successively across generations.

Targeting Epigenetic Dysregulation: Antioxidants as Countermeasures Against EDC-Induced Reproductive Toxicity [PDF]
AntioxidantsUbiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenols, phthalates, and heavy metals, pose a severe and persistent threat to mammalian reproductive health worldwide. Oxidative stress acts as the pivotal mediator which drives

Maternal Chronic Ethanol Exposure Decreases Stress Responses in Zebrafish Offspring
Biomolecules, 2022 In humans, prenatal alcohol exposure can cause serious health issues in children, known collectively as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Despite the high prevalence of FASD and a lack of effective treatments, the underlying mechanisms causing ...

Epigenetics and Methylmercury-Induced Neurotoxicity, Evidence from Experimental Studies
Toxics, 2023 MeHg is an environmental neurotoxin that can adversely affect the development of the nervous system. The molecular integrity of chromatin in the nucleus is an important target of MeHg. Low levels of MeHg trigger epigenetic mechanisms that may be involved
