Chen E, da Cruz R, Nascimento A, Joshi M, Pereira D, Dominguez O, et al.
Sci Rep
. 2024 Mar;
14(1):7567.
PMID: 38555297
Mounting evidence suggests that environmentally induced epigenetic inheritance occurs in mammals and that traits in the progeny can be shaped by parental environmental experiences. Epidemiological studies link parental exposure to...

. 2023 Feb;
PMID: 36798383
DNA sequence accounts for the majority of disease heritability, including cancer. Yet, not all familial cancer cases can be explained by genetic factors. It is becoming clear that environmentally induced...

Thangavel H, Lizardo K, Dhanyalayam D, de Assis S, Nagajyothi J
J Clin Med
. 2023 Jan;
12(2).
PMID: 36675341
Breast cancer (BC) is the most diagnosed cancer type, accounting for one in eight cancer diagnoses worldwide. Epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is associated with increased risk of BC...

Int J Mol Sci
. 2022 May;
23(9).
PMID: 35563062
Parental environmental experiences affect disease susceptibility in the progeny through epigenetic inheritance. Pesticides are substances or mixtures of chemicals-some of which are persistent environmental pollutants-that are used to control pests....

Fontelles C, da Cruz R, Gonsiewski A, Barin E, Tekmen V, Jin L, et al.
Sci Rep
. 2021 Apr;
11(1):7317.
PMID: 33795711
We previously showed that environmentally-induced epigenetic inheritance of cancer occurs in rodent models. For instance, we reported that paternal consumption of an obesity-inducing diet (OID) increased breast cancer susceptibility in...

da Cruz R, Chen E, Smith M, Bates J, de Assis S
Front Nutr
. 2020 Aug;
7:93.
PMID: 32760734
The past decade has made evident that in addition to passing their genetic material at conception, parents also transmit a molecular memory of past environmental experiences, including nutritional status, to...

Endocr Relat Cancer
. 2019 Mar;
26(5):511-523.
PMID: 30865925
Epidemiological studies suggest that timing of obesity onset - and underlying metabolic dysfunction - is important in determining pancreatic cancer rates: early and young adult abdominal overweight/obesity is more strongly...

da Cruz R, Carney E, Clarke J, Cao H, Cruz M, Benitez C, et al.
Breast Cancer Res
. 2018 Sep;
20(1):99.
PMID: 30165877
Background: While many studies have shown that maternal factors in pregnancy affect the cancer risk for offspring, few studies have investigated the impact of paternal exposures on their progeny's risk...

Methods Mol Biol
. 2018 Jan;
1735:207-220.
PMID: 29380314
Emerging experimental evidence show that fathers' experiences during preconception can influence their daughters' risk of developing breast cancer. Here we describe detailed protocols for investigation in rats and mice of...

. 2018 Jan;

PMID: 29380308
The developmental origins of breast cancer have been considered predominantly from a maternal perspective. Although accumulating evidence suggests a paternal programming effect on metabolic diseases, the potential impact of fathers'...
