These results suggest that some but not all regions are associated with changes
in epigenetic signaling associated with differences in maternal care, with broad epigenetic changes apparent within both genic and inter-genic areas.

epigenetic remodeling of DNA by methylation or demethylation led to changes located
in synapses, where one neuron communicates with another by chemical or electrical

in stemness and migration of these tumor cells, 3) Novel mitogenic
signaling pathways that are specific to GSCs, and 4) Identification of radio - and chemo - sensitizing pathway to maximize therapeutic efficacy.
