DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic feature that is associated with transcriptional
silencing, X-chromosome inactivation, genetic imprinting, and genomic stability. The …

Epigenetic changes are inherited alterations in DNA that affect gene expression and
function without altering the DNA sequence. DNA methylation is one epigenetic process …

Methylation is a major regulator of mammalian genome function in vivo. The methylation of
DNA on cytosine residues is a critical component of the host genome defense pathway …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that is essential for regulating gene
transcription. However, aberrant DNA methylation, which is a nearly universal finding in …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism of transcriptional control. DNA
methylation plays an essential role in maintaining cellular function, and changes in …

Epigenetic events constitute an important mechanism by which gene function is selectively
activated or inactivated. Since epigenetic events are susceptible to change they offer …

Methylation of DNA occurs at cytosines within CpG (cytosine-guanine) dinucleotides and is
1 of several epigenetic mechanisms that serve to establish and maintain tissue-specific …

DNA methylation is the most extensively studied mechanism of epigenetic gene regulation.
Increasing evidence indicates that DNA methylation is labile in response to nutritional and …

The aim of the present review paper is to survey the literature related to DNA methylation,
and its association with cancer and ageing. The review will outline the key factors, including …

Background: Alterations in DNA methylation play an important role in cancer development
and progression. Dietary nutrients and lifestyle behaviors can influence DNA methylation …
