In the mammalian genome, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism involving the transfer of a methyl group onto the C5 position of the cytosine to form 5-methylcytosine. DNA …
The immediate and long-term effects of exposure to early life stress (ELS) have been documented in humans and animal models. Even relatively brief periods of stress during the …
Long-lasting memories require specific gene expression programmes that are, in part, orchestrated by epigenetic mechanisms. Of the epigenetic modifications identified in …
The growth factor brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tropomyosin- related kinase receptor type B (TRKB) are actively produced and trafficked in multiple …
Variations in phenotype reflect the influence of environmental conditions during development on cellular functions, including that of the genome. The recent integration of …
