Eicosanoids are biologically active lipid mediators, comprising prostaglandins, leukotrienes,
thromboxanes, and lipoxins, involved in several pathophysiological processes relevant to …

Background Genetic susceptibility and environmental influences are important contributors
to the development of asthma and atopic diseases. Epigenetic mechanisms may facilitate …

Environmental epigenetic regulation in asthma and allergic disease is an exciting area that
has gained a great deal of scientific momentum in recent years. Environmental exposures …

Several studies show that childhood and adulthood asthma and its symptoms can be
modulated through epigenetic modifications. Epigenetic changes are inheritable …

The oncogenic human papilloma viruses (HPVs) are associated with precancerous cervical

As complex common diseases, asthma and allergic diseases are caused by the interaction
of multiple genetic variants with a variety of environmental factors. Candidate-gene studies …

Epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play a role in many complex diseases, the extent of
