Biological embedding of early‐life exposures and disease risk in humans: a role for <scp>DNA</scp> methylation

23 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Following wider acceptance of 'the thrifty phenotype' hypothesis and the convincing evidence that early-life exposures can influence adult health even decades after the exposure, much interest has been placed on the mechanisms through which early-life exposures become biologically embedded. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this review, we summarize the current literature regarding biological embedding of...
