Increasing evidence indicates that non-DNA sequence-based epigenetic information can be
inherited across several generations in organisms ranging from yeast to plants to humans …

Cells differentiate and progress through development guided by a dynamic chromatin
landscape that mediates gene expression programmes. During development, mammalian …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of female infertility worldwide and is
associated with a substantially increased lifetime risk of comorbidities, including type 2 …

Although more studies are demonstrating that a father's environment can influence child
health and disease, the molecular mechanisms underlying non-genetic inheritance remain …

BACKGROUND Modern reproductive behavior in most developed countries is characterized
by delayed parenthood. Older gametes are generally less fertile, accumulating and …

The idea that epigenetic determinants such as DNA methylation, histone modifications or
RNA can be passed to the next generation through meiotic products (gametes) is long …

In mammals, chromatin organization undergoes drastic reprogramming after fertilization.
However, the three-dimensional structure of chromatin and its reprogramming in …

To the Editor—Human organoids hold tremendous potential for biomedical applications 1–3
(Fig. 1a, b). These three-dimensional structures of cultured cells recapitulate important …

Once deemed heretical, emerging evidence now supports the notion that the inheritance of
acquired characteristics can occur through ancestral exposures or experiences and that …

Since the human genome was sequenced, the term" epigenetics" is increasingly being
associated with the hope that we are more than just the sum of our genes. Might what we …
