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.

Redox-based disruption of cellular hormesis and promotion of degenerative pathways: perspectives on ageing processes.

TL;DR: The present work aims to link the redox and cell-centric theories of chronic processes in human biology, focusing on ageing, with a synthetic overview of cellular redox pathways integrated by the concept of hormesis, which leads to several physiopathological processes.

The epigenetics of aging

TL;DR: The most complicated and least investigated epigenetic alterations that progress with aging are reversible alterations of chromatin that are heritable, but do not affect underlying DNA sequences and, consequently, permanent genetic information as discussed by the authors .

Epigenetic Biomarkers in Personalized Medicine

TL;DR: The role of epigenetics is not confined to cancer onset and progression, but is becoming increasingly recognized in most noncancerous human complex diseases, indicating that the analysis of the epigenome could represent one of the most promising approaches to refining diagnosis, predicting prognosis, and choosing the most personalized therapeutic approach in human disease.

Simultaneous voltammetric determination of 7-methyl-guanine and 5-methyl-cytosine using a cathodically pre-treated boron-doped diamond electrode.

TL;DR: In this article , a new DP voltammetric method for the simultaneous detection and quantification of biomarkers 7-mGua and 5-mCyt using a red-BDDE is proposed.

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

TL;DR: In this article , the association between folate intake and cognitive function was assessed using a multivariate conditional logistic regression model, and the OR of developing folate was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.44-0.56).

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.

Linking DNA methylation and histone modification: patterns and paradigms

TL;DR: Relationships between DNA methylation and histone modification have implications for understanding normal development as well as somatic cell reprogramming and tumorigenesis.
