Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported to confer an increased risk of natural premature death. Telomere erosion caused by oxidative stress is a common consequence in age-related diseases. However, whether telomere length (TL) and oxidative indicators are significantly changed in ASD patients compared with controls remains controversial.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a global cause of vision loss, with limited therapeutic options highlighting the need for effective biomarkers. This study aimed to characterize plasma DNA methyltransferase expression (, , and ) in AMD patients and explore divergent expression patterns across different stages of AMD. : Thirty-eight AMD patients were prospectively enrolled and stratified by disease severity: eAMD, iAMD, nAMD, and aAMD.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in neoplastic initiation and progression. Epigenetic machinery, governing the expression of core oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in transformed cells, significantly contributes to tumor development at both primary and distant sites. Recent studies have illuminated how epigenetic mechanisms integrate external cues and downstream signals, altering the phenotype of stromal cells and immune cells.

Abnormally fertilized embryos are often discarded during in vitro fertilization due to the fact that known chromosomal ploidy abnormalities lead to implantation failure or pregnancy loss. The objective of this study was to determine if pronuclear numeration (PN) observed at fertilization check is representative of the true ploidy status of the subsequent developing blastocyst in order to maximize the number of viable embryos available for infertility patients and increase their chances of conception. Upon successful fertilization, pronuclear numeration was noted, and zygotes were cultured to the blastocyst stage.

: Alternative splicing is essential for the physiological and pathological development of the inner ear. Disruptions in this process can result in both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hearing loss. DHX38, a DEAH box RNA helicase, is integral to pre-mRNA splicing regulation and plays critical roles in development, cell differentiation, and stem cell maintenance.
