Interplay between Epigenetics and Genetics in Cancer by Jae Duk Choi, Jong-Soo Lee

“…Mechanisms involve both genomic instability and epigenomic aberrations that lose or gain the function of genes that impinge on tumor suppression/prevention or oncogenesis. Growing evidence points to an epigenome-wide disruption that involves large-scale DNA hypomethylation but specific hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes, large blocks of aberrant histone modifications, and abnormal miRNA expression profile. …”

Helicobacter pylori Pathogenicity Factors Related to Gastric Cancer by Kianoosh Dadashzadeh, Maikel P. Peppelenbosch, Akyala Ishaku Adamu

“…Although the causal relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of gastric cancer is firmly established, the exact nature of the pathogenicity factors of H. pylori that predispose to gastric oncogenesis remains incompletely characterized. We investigated the association between H. pylori virulence genotypes and disease in a well-characterized cohort consisting of 109 H. pylori isolates from gastric biopsies originating from patients. …”

Cancer vaccines: platforms and current progress by Wanting Lei, Kexun Zhou, Ye Lei, Qiu Li, Hong Zhu

“…Abstract Cancer vaccines, crucial in the immunotherapeutic landscape, are bifurcated into preventive and therapeutic types, both integral to combating oncogenesis. Preventive cancer vaccines, like those against HPV and HBV, reduce the incidence of virus-associated cancers, while therapeutic cancer vaccines aim to activate dendritic cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes for durable anti-tumor immunity. …”

Genetic and neuro-epigenetic effects of divergent artificial selection for feather pecking behaviour in chickens by Elske N. de Haas, Fábio Pértille, Joergen B. Kjaer, Per Jensen, Carlos Guerrero-Bosagna

“…The largest CNVs found were in RIC3 (gain in HFP) and SH3RF2 (gain in LFP) genes, linked to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor regulation and human oncogenesis, respectively. Our study also suggests that promoters and introns are hotspots for CpG depletion. …”
