The relation between DNA methylation patterns and serum cytokine levels in community-dwelling adults: a preliminary study

Abstract Background The levels of circulating cytokines fluctuate with age, acute illness, and chronic disease, and are predictive of mortality; this is also true for patterns of DNA (CpG) methylation. Given that immune cells are particularly sensitive to changes in the concentration of cytokines in...
