Environmental epigenetics describes how environmental factors affect cellular epigenetics
and, hence, human health. Epigenetic marks alter the spatial conformation of chromatin to …

The effects of environmental factors and epigenetics on health and disease development
are complex and interconnected. Environmental factors encompass external influences like …

Evidence from both human and animal studies has shown that the prenatal and early
postnatal environments influence susceptibility to chronic disease in later life and suggests …

This review considers the emerging relationships between environmental factors and
epigenetic alterations and the application of genome-wide assessments to better define …

It is thought that germ cells and preimplantation embryos during development are most
susceptible to endogenous and exogenous environmental factors because the epigenome …

Improved understanding of the multilayer regulation of the human genome has led to a
greater appreciation of environmental, nutritional, and epigenetic risk factors for human …

In recent years, research on how the human environment and lifestyle influence gene
expression has generated considerable scientific and public interest. Articles in prominent …

Epigenetic marks change during fetal development, adult life, and aging. Some changes
play an important role in the establishment and regulation of gene programs, but others …

The epigenome consists of the DNA methylation marks and histone modifications involved
in controlling gene expression. It is accurately reproduced during mitosis and can be …

Although epidemiological studies support the role of environment in a wide range of human
cancers, the precise mechanisms by which environmental exposures promote cancer …
