Introduction: Hypertension in pregnancy (HIP) poses significant health risks for both mothers and infants. Development of HIP is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with epigenetic modifications partially explaining underlying mechanisms. Bibliometric tools aid researchers in quickly gaining insights into field dynamics and trends.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases account for the majority of these deaths, with atherosclerosis marking the initial and most critical phase of their pathophysiological progression. There is a complex relationship between atherosclerosis, the gut microbiome's composition and function, and the potential mediating role of exercise.

As a key protein for mA, methyltransferase 3 (METTL3) had been identified to be associated with a variety of diseases. The publications related to METTL3 were searched in the Web of Science Core Collection from the earliest mention to July 1st, 2022.

Most common diseases are characterized by metabolic changes, among which lipid metabolism is a hotspot. Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between epigenetics and lipid metabolism. This study of publications on the epigenetics of lipid metabolism searched in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2012 to 2022, and a total of 3685 publications were retrieved.

However, limited research has been conducted to comprehensively analyze the contribution of the GSDM family in a pan-cancer setting. We systematically evaluated the gene expression, genetic variations, and prognostic values of the GSDM family members.

This is based upon the hypothesis that as contractile marker proteins α-SMA and SM22α can serve as an index of the overcontractile phenotype of ASM that is seen in AIP. Lung tissue samples of children were obtained from autopsies and divided into the AIP group (55.

This region played a significant role in the formation of the genetic makeup of the proto-Hmong-Mien-speaking people and in the north-to-south human expansion during the Neolithic-to-historic transformation. Their genetic history covering migration events and the admixture processes still needs to be further explored.

However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for DNA methylation patterns in the tumor immune-infiltrating microenvironment and in cancer immunotherapy remain unclear.
Methods: We conducted a global analysis of the DNA methylation modification pattern (DMP) and immune cell-infiltrating characteristics of LUAD patients based on 21 DNA methylation regulators.
The evolutionary and admixture history of Han Chinese have been widely discussed traditional autosomal and uniparental genetic markers [e.g., short tandem repeats, low-density single nucleotide polymorphisms).

Some evidence argues that an eastward migration of Central Asians gave rise to modern Hui people, which is referred to as the ; other evidence favors the , which posits that East Asians adopted Muslim culture to form the modern culturally distinct populations. However, the extent to which the observed genetic structure of the Huis was mediated by the movement of people or the assimilation of Muslim culture also remains highly contentious.
