Mechanoepigenetics in musculoskeletal disease
Journal Article
Summary This review explores the intricate interplay between genetic variants, mechanical forces, and the epigenetic landscape (defined as ‘mechanoepigenetics’), particularly in the context of musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases such as osteoarthritis. Whilst...

Molecular Evolution Laboratory

Page
Evolution leaves its traces in the DNA sequences of living species. Not only can we reconstruct how species are related to each other, but we can also distinguish the action of natural selection from the random process of genetic drift. Our lab focuses on...
