Long-term Functional and Epigenetic Changes in Adult Monocytes Induced by AS01-adjuvanted Vaccine Background: Vaccine adjuvants are widely used to enhance the immune response of vaccines. In particular, the AS01 adjuvant, a key component in several approved vaccines, has demonstrated high immunogenicity and efficacy. AS01 exerts its adjuvant effect...

Research Reveals Gender-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in Neuroinflammation, Injury, and Recovery Background Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Due to limited understanding of its linked disease mechanisms, current treatments for alleviating acute ischemic brain injury are very limited. Recent...

CRISPR-Dependent Screening in Primary Hematopoietic Stem Cells Identifies KDM3B as Specific Susceptibility for IDH2 and TET2 Mutant Genotypes Background and Significance Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) refers to the abnormal growth of genetically distinct subclones of cells initiated by specific mutations in Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). This phenomen...

Association Between Epigenetic Age Acceleration Estimates and Cognitive Trajectories in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study Background Maintaining cognitive function is crucial for independent living among older adults. With the growth of the aging population, cognitive decline has become a significant public health challenge. Many studies h...

A Panoramic View of Whole Genome Repetitive Sequences in Cancer and Circulating Free DNA Research Background and Significance Throughout the development of cancer and other diseases, genetic changes in repetitive sequences within the genome are a significant characteristic. However, standard sequencing methods struggle to effectively characterize t...
