Histone Acetylation & Neuroplasticity
HDAC inhibitors enhance synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation. This review maps chromatin remodeling pathways in hippocampal long-term potentiation.
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Evidence suggests environmental stressors can induce heritable epigenetic marks across multiple generations. We examine germ-line reprogramming escapes and their implications.
Environmental Toxins & Epigenetic Drift
Exposure to endocrine disruptors and heavy metals accelerates epigenetic age. This meta-analysis links pollutant biomarkers to methylation clocks in human cohorts.
