The current concept of fetal origins of adult diseases describes in utero programming, or
adaptation to a spectrum of adverse environmental conditions that ultimately leads to …

Epidemiological studies have shown that the environment experienced in early life can
'programme'susceptibility to later disease. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that …

Epigenetics refers to mitotically and/or meiotically heritable variations in gene expression
that are not caused by changes in DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms regulate all …

This review focuses on how environmental factors through epigenetics modify disease risk
and health outcomes. Major epigenetic events, such as histone modifications, DNA …

The evolution process includes genetic alterations that started with prokaryotes and now
continues in humans. A distinct difference between prokaryotic chromosomes and …

Epigenetics refers to information transmitted during cell division other than the DNA
sequence per se, and it is the language that distinguishes stem cells from somatic cells, one …

Epigenetic phenomena in animals and plants are mediated by DNA methylation and stable
chromatin modifications. There has been considerable interest in whether environmental …

Epigenetics has major relevance to all disease processes; cardiovascular (CV) disease and
its related conditions are no exception. Epigenetics is defined as the study of heritable …

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

Epigenetic marking systems confer stability of gene expression during mammalian
development. Genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming occurs at stages when …
