The epigenetic impacts of social stress: how does social adversity become biologically embedded?
VT Cunliffe - Epigenomics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Epigenetic mechanisms are implicated in the processes through which social stressors
erode health in humans and other animals. Here I review progress in elucidating the …

Sensitive periods for the effect of childhood adversity on DNA methylation: results from a prospective, longitudinal study
Background Exposure to early-life adversity is known to predict DNA methylation (DNAm)
patterns that may be related to psychiatric risk. However, few studies have investigated …
