Nutrient stress and social stress act via the innate immune system and cause the suppression of the immune system that links the proliferation of viruses to
transgenerational epigenetic inheritance via everything currently known about microRNAs and adhesion proteins.

Giacomo Cavalli's team at the Institute of Human Genetics (University of Montpellier / CNRS), in collaboration with the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), has demonstrated the existence of
transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) among Drosophila fruit flies.
Michael Skinner is a polarizing figure in an already contentious area of biology —
transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
