Pre-diagnostic copper and zinc biomarkers and colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Preprint; Manuskript, 2017-07-01)
Adequate intake of copper and zinc, two essential micronutrients, are important for antioxidant functions. Their imbalance may have implications for development of diseases like colorectal cancer (CRC), where oxidative stress is thought to be etiologically involved. As evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies is lacking, we conducted a case-control study nested within the European Prospective ...
DNA methylome analysis identifies accelerated epigenetic ageing associated with postmenopausal breast cancer susceptibility
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-28)
Aim of the study: A vast majority of human malignancies are associated with
ageing, and age is a strong predictor of cancer risk. Recently, DNA methylation-based marker
of ageing, known as ‘epigenetic clock’, has been linked with cancer risk factors. This study
aimed to evaluate whether the epigenetic clock is associated with breast cancer risk susceptibility
and to identify potential epigenetics-based ...
