Developmental epigenetics is a broad phenomenon, which was initially described by
Waddington as “the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes …

Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDC s) are man‐made chemicals that interfere with
hormonal signalling pathways. They are used in, for example, production of common …

Increasing evidence has highlighted the critical role of early life environment in shaping the
future health outcomes of an individual. Moreover, recent studies have revealed that early …

Epigenetics is often defined as the study of mitotically and/or meiotically inherited changes
in gene expression that are not produced by alterations of DNA sequence. Since a few years …

Epigenetics represents the way by which the environment is able to program the genome;
there are three main levels of epigenetic control on genome: DNA methylation, post …

Endocrine disruptors are generally defined as chemicals in the environment that interfere
with hormone signaling to such an extent that they cause adverse effects (eg Ref. 1). The …

Endocrine disruptions induced by environmental toxicants have placed an immense burden
on society to properly diagnose, treat and attempt to alleviate symptoms and disease …

Environmental exposures such as toxicants, nutrition and stress have been shown to
promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease susceptibility. Endocrine …

Similar to environmental factors, EDCs (endocrine-disrupting chemicals) can influence gene
expression without modifying the DNA sequence. It is commonly accepted that the …

The microbiome may play a role in vulnerability to toxicant-induced epigenetic alterations.
