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

A majority of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are asymptomatic and self-resolving in
the absence of medical interventions. Various innate and adaptive immune responses, as …

Diversity in the genetic profile between individuals and specific ethnic groups affects nutrient
requirements, metabolism and response to nutritional and dietary interventions. Indeed …

The function of one-carbon metabolism is that of regulating the provision of methyl groups
for biological methylation reactions including that of DNA and histone proteins. Methylation …

Nutritional factors play a life-long role in human health. Indeed, there is growing evidence
