TLDR
Human postmortem results strengthen the notion that AD is associated with alterations in DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, and provide a basis for further epigenetic studies identifying the exact genetic loci with aberrant epigenetic signatures.

Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin contribute to onset of chemobrain by altering epigenetic factors DNMT1, DNMT3A, Tet1, Mecp2, and CBP

Joshua Reiser
TL;DR: This research attacked the mode confusion problem by developing a modeling framework to describe human interaction with mode-based approaches to substance abuse.

Utility of DNA Methylation as a Biomarker in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors take a closer look at the utility of DNA methylation as a biomarker in aging and disease, with a particular focus on Alzheimer's disease, and find associations between disease and/or disease risk with increased biological age.

Association between dietary folate intake and cognitive impairment in older US adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

TL;DR: In this paper , a multivariate conditional logistic regression model was used to determine the association between dietary folate intake and low cognitive performance in older adults, with an inflection point of approximately 510,383 mg/day.

Chapter 9 – Epigenomics of Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: A literature review finds evidence of age-related changes in human brainmethylation and that aberrant alteration of brain methylation is implicated in AD.

Dynamic Regulation of DNA Methylation and Brain Functions

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide an overview of the contribution of 5-methycytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxyl cytosine(5hmC) to brain development and aging, with a focus on the roles of dynamic 5mC and 5hmC changes in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Epigenetic regulation of gene expression: how the genome integrates intrinsic and environmental signals

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of the mechanism and role of DNA methylation in biological processes are reviewed, showing that epigenetic mechanisms seem to allow an organism to respond to the environment through changes in gene expression.

Conversion of 5-Methylcytosine to 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Mammalian DNA by MLL Partner TET1

TL;DR: It is shown here that TET1, a fusion partner of the MLL gene in acute myeloid leukemia, is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)- and Fe(II)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes conversion of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) in cultured cells and in vitro.

Alzheimer's Disease Is a Synaptic Failure

TL;DR: Mounting evidence suggests that this syndrome begins with subtle alterations of hippocampal synaptic efficacy prior to frank neuronal degeneration, and that the synaptic dysfunction is caused by diffusible oligomeric assemblies of the amyloid β protein.

The Nuclear DNA Base 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Is Present in Purkinje Neurons and the Brain

TL;DR: It is shown that, as well as 5mC in mammalian genomes, there are also significant amounts of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA of Purkinje neurons, which have large nuclei with apparently very little heterochromatin.
