MYC oncogene is a transcription factor with a wide array of functions affecting cellular
activities such as cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage response, and hematopoiesis. Due to …

Abstract The Endocrine Society's first Scientific Statement in 2009 provided a wake-up call to
the scientific community about how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) …

Reproduction is a fundamental process for the preservation of the human species. This
process requires a sequence of orchestrated events that are necessary for a successful …

Since their discovery 20 years ago, miRNAs have attracted much attention from all areas of
biology. These short (∼ 22 nt) non-coding RNA molecules are highly conserved in evolution …

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that can be transmitted through cell
divisions but cannot be explained by changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic …

This review focuses on how environmental factors through epigenetics modify disease risk
and health outcomes. Major epigenetic events, such as histone modifications, DNA …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have critical functions in various biological processes.
MiRNA profiling is an important tool for the identification of differentially expressed miRNAs …

Although genetics determines endocrine phenotypes, it cannot fully explain the great
variability and reversibility of the system in response to environmental changes. Evidence …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved small non-coding RNA species involved
in post-transcriptional gene regulation. In vitro studies have identified a small number of …

Human evolution has been marked by a striking increase in total brain volume relative to
body size. While a prominent and characteristic feature of this volumetric shift has been the …
