Epigenetic signature of maternal smoking contributes to smaller body size and lower birth weight in newborns of European and South Asian ancestry.

Gene analyses reveal the abnormal DNA methylation and expression of the genes essential for spermatogenesis as a cause of spermatogenic defects in offspring induced by maternal exposure of a chemical.

Subterranean fossil bone hosts a living microbiome different from the surrounding sediment without evidence of original protein preservation.

In mountain gorillas, as in certain human populations, relationships between group members can act as a social buffer, breaking the link between maternal loss, increased social adversity, and decreased fitness.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling plays a causal role in female-typical social behavior and modulates oxytocin neuron gene expression.

Soon after fertilisation, a critical portion of the embryonic genome is switched on through the actions of maternally inherited Stella, in part through controlling the activation of transposable elements.

The H3K36 and H3K27 histone methyltransferases MES-4 and PRC2 protect survival of the nascent germline in Caenorhabditis elegans by repressing expression of X-linked genes, including the key transcription factor LIN-15B.

Wild chimpanzees contrast to humans since adult male chimpanzees do not exhibit physiological indicators of biological embedding of the stress associated to maternal loss early in life.

Early moderate consumption of alcohol in pregnancy was sufficient to disrupt the fetal epigenome in newborn mice, and high folate maternal diets had a mitigating effect.

Maternal obesity and high-fat diet present metabolic, signaling, and epigenetic impediments to pathogen recognition in fetal innate immune cells that result in a state of immune paralysis during gestation and at birth.
