Environmental epigenetics is a 'hot'new field of post-genomic science investigating
mechanisms that influence how genes are expressed. It offers a dynamic and non-dualistic …

The emergent field of environmental epigenetics, which studies health effects of
'xenobiotic'chemicals, fundamentally challenges standard models of the biochemical …

The life sciences are generating a transformative view of the biological body not as fixed and
innate but as permeable to its environment and, therefore, plastic: development is open and …

Research in environmental epigenetics explores how environmental exposures and life
experiences such as food, toxins, stress or trauma can shape trajectories of human health …

The molecular biological field of epigenetics has recently attracted attention not only in
biology, but also in the broader scientific community and the popular press. Commentators …

Xenobiotic chemicals (for example, PCBs, BPA and methylmercury) play a central role in the
new field of 'environmental epigenetics', which identifies factors that regulate the expression …

The rapidly shifting field of epigenetics has expanded scientific understanding of how
environmental conditions affect gene expression and development. This article focuses on …

Environmental epigenetics is the study of how environmental signals affect gene expression.
Within this growing field of molecular biology, experiments on the epigenetic effects of …

Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression, has been heralded as one
of the most promising new fields of scientific inquiry. Current large-scale studies selectively …

Epigenetics is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in the life sciences. Its rise is
frequently framed as a revolutionary turn that heralds a new epoch both for gene-based …
