<h4>Background</h4>Populations in subarctic regions, like Yakutia in the Russian Sakha Republic, have adapted to extreme environmental conditions, including intense cold, pronounced shifts in daylight, and variable food availability. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these adaptations …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Adiponectin is a circulating adipokine involved in energy metabolism and inflammation, with reported protective effects against cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and early kidney disease. However, its regulation remains poorly understood. This …
Read PDFBrain disorders are among the most debilitating, costly and therapeutically challenging conditions worldwide. Therefore, there is a growing need for identification of biomarkers to support diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic procedures. Technological advances are enabling increasingly …
Read PDFNon-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) is a common congenital malformation influenced by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. nsCL/P is usually diagnosed using fetal ultrasound during the late second trimester; …
Read PDFDNA methylation is a widely studied epigenetic mark and a powerful biomarker of cell type, age, environmental exposures, and disease. Whole-genome sequencing following selective conversion of unmethylated cytosines into thymines via bisulfite treatment or enzymatic …
Read PDFSarcopenia is an age-associated degenerative disorder of skeletal muscle, characterized by the progressive decline in muscle mass and function, which increases the risk of falls, injuries, and accidental death in older adults. Deciphering its pathogenic …
Read PDFImmune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have transformed the management of advanced lung cancer, yet most patients experience primary resistance, hyperprogressive disease (HPD), or …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which the RNA demethylase …
Read PDF<h4>Objectives</h4>FAM83H is a critical gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type IIIA (AI type IIIA), but its precise role in enamel formation remains poorly understood. Fragmented datasets, inconsistent terminology, and limited integrative analyses hinder functional interpretation. …
Read PDFEpigenomics has become multi-faceted, with researchers exploring chromatin structure, nucleosome states, and epigenetic modifications, producing large, complex multi-omic datasets. Given this shift, there is a demand for bioinformatics that leverage high-performance computing (HPC) and parallelization …
Read PDFDNA methylation (DNAm) has emerged as a powerful and dynamic biomarker for predicting health outcomes, biological aging, and disease risk. Unlike static genetic variants, DNAm is dynamic and influenced by environmental, lifestyle, and pathological factors, …
Read PDF<h4>Aim</h4>Tobacco smoking induces persistent DNA methylation (DNAm) changes in blood that can serve as long-term biomarkers for smoking exposure. We aimed to develop and validate a DNAm classifier of smoking status using Illumina EPIC array …
Read PDFThe elevated mortality associated with colorectal cancer is largely due to delayed diagnosis and post-treatment disease recurrence, highlighting the urgent clinical need for molecular markers with exceptional sensitivity and specificity to support early detection and …
Read PDFThis Special Issue features 6 articles from leaders in the field that elucidate novel epigenetic mechanisms regulating nociception, inflammation, responses to pharmacologic and integrative therapies, and pain disparities among racial/ethnic groups. Together, they highlight the …
Read PDFMetabolomics, representing the biochemical phenotype of cells or tissues, serves as an intrinsic factor underlying the differences in plant traits. Recent advances in multi-omics technologies have significantly deepened our understanding of plant metabolic diversity, enabling …
Read PDFTranscriptional enhancers are DNA regulatory elements that control the levels and spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression during development, homeostasis, and pathophysiological processes. Enhancer identification and characterization at the genome-wide scale rely on their structural characteristics, …
Read PDFWound healing is a complex, multi-phase process requiring coordinated interactions among diverse cell types and molecular pathways to restore tissue integrity. Dysregulation can lead to chronic non-healing wounds or excessive scarring, posing major clinical and …
Read PDFFollowing the application of epigenetic and epigenomics research into tumor diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hereditary diseases, and rare diseases, in vitro diagnostics (IVD) epigenetic and epigenomics are increasingly employed for those patients. Here, we review …
