research Maternal nutrition at conception modulates DNA methylation of human metastable epialleles
A mother's diet at conception can cause lasting genetic changes in her child.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis
Stem cells help heal wounds by rapidly dividing and migrating to the wound edge.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 update on objectives, design and main results
