Experience‐sensitive epigenetic mechanisms, developmental plasticity, and the biological embedding of chronic disease risk
20 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: A wide range of developmental, nutritional, environmental, and social factors affect the biological activities of epigenetic mechanisms. These factors change spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression in a variety of different ways and bring significant impacts to bear on development, physiology, and disease risk throughout the life course. Abundant evidence demonstrates that behavioral stressors and...
