Early-Life Wildfire Smoke Exposure Is Associated with Long-Term Systemic Immune Remodeling and Epigenetic Reprogramming

Cora E. Layman, David Morrow, Taylor J. Caron, Kandace J. Wheeler, Brett A. Davis, Paige Bergstrom, Katinka A. Vigh‐Conrad, Tanner J. Anderson, GW McElfresh, Kirstin N. Sterner, Baptiste Sadoughi, Noah Snyder‐Mackler, Scott G. Hansen, Benjamin N. Bimber, Christina Lancioni, , Mariam Okhovat

This study shows that early-life wildfire smoke exposure in rhesus macaques leads to long-term immune and epigenetic changes, including altered cytokine responses and accelerated epigenetic aging.

Epigenetic and Transcriptomic Alterations Precede Amyloidosis in the Hippocampus of the Alzheimer's Disease AppNL-G-F Knock in Mouse Model

Mariam Okhovat, Cora E. Layman, Brett A. Davis, Alexandra Pederson, Abigail O’Niel, Sarah J. Holden, Kat Kessler, Sonia N. Acharya, Kandace J. Wheeler, Kimberly A. Nevonen, Jarod Herrera, Samantha Ward, Katinka A. Vigh‐Conrad, Andrew Adey, Jacob Raber, Lucia Carbone

This study identifies epigenetic and transcriptomic changes in the hippocampus and blood of an Alzheimer's mouse model before amyloidosis onset, suggesting blood methylation as a potential biomarker.
