Alteration of the brain methylation landscape following postnatal inflammatory injury in rat pups
22 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Preterm infants are vulnerable to inflammation-induced white matter injury (WMI), which is associated with neurocognitive impairment and increased risk of neuropsychiatric diseases in adulthood. Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation, play a role in normal development and modulate the response to pathological challenges. Our aims were to determine how WMI triggered DNA methylation alterations in...
