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 …

The hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis is a complex system of neuroendocrine pathways
and feedback loops that function to maintain physiological homeostasis. Abnormal …

This paper reviews the research evidence concerning the intergenerational transmission of
trauma effects and the possible role of epigenetic mechanisms in this transmission. Two …

Animals transmit not only DNA but also other molecules, such as RNA, proteins and
metabolites, to their progeny via gametes. It is currently unclear to what extent these …

It is predicted that Japan and European Union will soon experience appreciable decreases
in their populations due to persistently low total fertility rates (TFR) below replacement level …

Background The involvement of epigenetic mechanisms in intergenerational transmission of
stress effects has been demonstrated in animals but not in humans. Methods Cytosine …

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

This review examines mechanisms contributing to the intergenerational transmission of self-
regulation. To provide an integrated account of how self-regulation is transmitted across …

Environmental exposures, psychosocial stressors and nutrition are all potentially important
influences that may impact health outcomes directly or via interactions with the genome or …

The hypothesis that offspring are affected by parental trauma or stress exposure, first noted
anecdotally, is now supported empirically by data from Holocaust survivor offspring cohorts …
