TL;DR: An inverse association between in utero exposure to antibiotics and lower infant birth weight is reported and the first empirical evidence supporting imprinted gene plasticity in these associations is provided.

TL;DR: A role for the male germ line is suggested as one of nature's tools to capture messages from the authors' continuously changing environment and to transfer this information to subsequent generations, specifically those from dietary exposures.

TL;DR: A better understanding of pre-conceptional origins of disease through the paternal exposome will be informative to the field of transgenerational epigenetics and will ultimately help instruct and guide public health policies in the future.

TL;DR: Variation in IGF2 DMR methylation is an important mechanism by which circulating IGF2 concentrations, a putative risk factor for obesity and cancers of the colon, esophagus, and prostate, are modulated; associations that may depend on pre-pregnancy obesity.

TL;DR: This review investigates the literature on transgenerational inheritance of diseases, published in the past 10 years, and questions whether persistent epigenetic changes occur in the male germ line after exposure to synthesized EDCs, and sheds a light on how the interplay of genetics and epigenetics may explain the current knowledge gap on transGenerational inheritance.
