Sumario:The research education seminar ‘Epigenetics in disease and well-being’ organized by and held at Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden earlier this year, aimed to discuss the interaction between environmental factors and epigenetic modifications and its consequences for human and animal health. A selection of presented papers is hereby presented which highlighted the mechanisms by which environmental stressors challenge homeostasis to such an extent that the effects can become transgenerational but also proposed the development of epigenomic-based pre-emptive medicine.
