1. Epigenetic dysregulation in relation to psychiatric traits in adolescence and adulthood
Abstract : Epigenetics has evolved into a key research focus in the field of psychiatry. DNA methylation is the most researched epigenetic mechanism. In paper I-III, 130 and 93 adolescents were randomly recruited at two separate intervals. READ MORE

2. Networks in epigenetics
Abstract : Networks are ubiquitous. It is only recently, we started exploring what purpose they serve in real world. Biological research supposedly has, and will be, benefited most from the network science because of inherent complexity embedded in its multilayered organization. READ MORE

3. On the role of genetic variation and epigenetics in hemostatic gene regulation
Abstract : Many genetic variants have been identified to associate with circulating levels of hemostatic proteins and with thrombotic or hemorrhagic disorders. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. READ MORE

4. Epigenetics of paediatric glioma stem cells; focusing on exosomes, miRNAs and DNA methylation
Abstract : Tumours in the central nervous system are accountable for the majority of cancer-related deaths in children. Glioblastoma multiforme, one of the deadliest of the central nervous system tumours, is partly driven by glioma stem cells. The generation and maintenance of these cells is orchestrated by complex genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. READ MORE

5. Epigenetics in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Abstract : Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) shows a remarkably distinctive ethnic and geographic distribution among the world suggesting that genetic susceptibility backgrounds cooperate with the environmental risk factors in etiology of NPCs. Among the environmental factors, much attention has been focused on a well-documented association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which can be detected in 100% undifferentiated NPCs. READ MORE
