The Relationship Between Cancer Risk and Epigenetic Age Acceleration After Stroke

Study on the Association Between Long-Term Cancer Risk and Epigenetic Age in Stroke Survivors Background and Significance Cancer and stroke are leading global causes of morbidity and mortality, with their association being increasingly recognized. Statistics show that about 6% of cancer patients experience a stroke during their lifetime, while stro...

Population-wide DNA Methylation Polymorphisms at Single-Nucleotide Resolution in 207 Cotton Accessions Reveal Epigenomic Contributions to Complex Traits

Cotton Population-Level DNA Methylation Polymorphism Study Reveals Epigenomic Contributions to Complex Traits Background and Research Motivation In recent decades, genome and genetic diversity have been extensively studied through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), providing a theoretical foundation for understanding crop trait variations. How...

DNA methylation patterns in the frontal lobe white matter of multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy: a cross-comparative investigation

Cross-Comparative Study of DNA Methylation Patterns in the Frontal Lobe White Matter of Multiple System Atrophy, Parkinson’s Disease, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Academic Background Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by neuronal loss and gliosis, accompanied by glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) ...

Nature of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective

Research on the Essence of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective Research Background As biological research progresses, scientists have discovered that changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) constitute one of the most reliable predictors of age—known as the epigenetic clock. However, the mechanisms underlying what these clocks precisely measur...
