%0 Journal Article %T Novel Insights into the Control of Human Pregnancy: Potential Role(s) for Epigenetic Regulation %A Roger J. Lins and Murray D. Mitchell %J Reproductive Biology Insights %D 2012 %I %X The appropriate modulation of gene expression in gestational tissues is an essential requirement for a successful pregnancy. Epigenetic control of gene expression through the reversible modification of chromatin has emerged as a fundamental mechanism for the coordination of gene expression in a range of biological systems. Here we summarize recent results in support of our hypothesis that key physiological events and pathological processes occurring throughout human pregnancy are under epigenetic control. %U http://www.la-press.com/novel-insights-into-the-control-of-human-pregnancy-potential-roles-for-article-a1046
