This manuscript reports important findings on the impact of maternal obesity on offspring metabolism. It presents solid evidence that maternal obesity induces genomic methylation alterations in ...

This manuscript reports important findings on the impact of maternal obesity on oocyte methylation and its transgenerational effects. The evidence presented to substantiate the major claims appears ...

A new collaborative study from Karolinska Institutet published in Science Advances shows that the levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) directly influence lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression in mice.

A new study introduces a method to infer DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal tissues from ancient DNA, offering insights into human evolution, particularly brain function. Using an algorithm with ...

Enzymatic methylation of the C–5 position of cytosine residues can effect epigenetic inheritance by altering the expression of genes and by transmission of DNA methylation patterns through cell ...

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a marked decrease in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This condition can cause symptoms including muscle weakness ...

ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable. They were the first reported ...

Despite the diverse nature of obesity, there is compelling genetic, clinical, and experimental evidence that endorses the ...
