Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is potentially the only curative option for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. However, disease relapse remains the principal cause ...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), with rising incidence globally, shows heterogeneous responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). DNA methylation dysregulation impacts tumor immunity, necessitating p...

Acquired therapy resistance is a dynamic process associated with early epigenetic modifications reshaping gene transcription across multiple cellular pathways, ultimately giving rise to drug-tolerant persister...

The prevalence of insomnia and mental illness varies by sex. The mRNA expression level of the CRY gene in patients with insomnia is significantly decreased, and the expression level of the CRY2 gene is closely re...

While cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomics has transformed liquid biopsy applications in prenatal screening and oncology, its potential in male reproductive health remains unexplored.

This study investigates the environmental impact of urbanization on water quality in Greater Noida, a rapidly developing region in India. Thirty groundwater samples were collected from five villages during the...

DNA methylation (DNAm) has been touted as a potential unified marker of the contributions of both inherited and environmental factors on an individual’s health. Changes in DNAm have been associated with severa...

ABCA1 methylation and N6-methyladenine DNA have been identified as epigenetic markers in coronary artery disease. We performed a cross-sectional exploratory study to analyze whether global DNA methylation and ABC...

Bisulfite conversion is considered the gold standard for DNA methylation analysis, but it damages DNA and performs sub-optimally with clinical samples (e.g., formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and circulating fr...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disease marked by lipid metabolism dysfunction. Methylation of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) mRNA can regulate AS progression. We investigated the role and mechanism of m5C reader ALYREF in AS.

DNA methylation of CpG islands is altered in cancer cells. Hypermethylation of single CpG islands in the promoter regions of tumor-suppressor genes occurs already in the early stages of cancer. These methylati...

Work-related stress is a well-established contributor to mental health decline, particularly in the context of burnout, a state of prolonged exhaustion. Epigenetic clocks, which estimate biological age based o...

The sex chromosome aneuploidies Turner syndrome (45,X; TS) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY; KS) are associated with aging-related comorbidities, reduced life expectancy and genome-wide DNA methylation changes...

DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors are emerging as a promising class of agents for personalized and targeted cancer therapy, particularly in malignancies with limited therapeutic options such as glioblast...

Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, responsible for nearly 1.8 million deaths annually, which accounts for approximately 18.7% of global cancer-related mortality. C...

The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) post-transcriptional modification has been linked with the development and progression of a variety of cancers. However, its specific functions and their underlying mechanisms are po...

Food allergy (FA) is a great public health concern with an increased prevalence in the last decades. The underlying development mechanisms of FA and food sensitization (FS), which represents the first stage of...

Conduct a comprehensive genome-wide methylomic analysis of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and identify specific lncRNAs for subsequent functional validation.
