Epigenetics is the science of how your lifestyle, environment, and even emotions can alter your gene activity without ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, ...

Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...

Researchers are also focusing increasing attention on the ways gene expression is regulated dynamically in cells through epigenetic changes, says Robert P. Kimberly, M.D., director of the UAB Center ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...

Because identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg, they have the same genome, the entire set of genetic material found in an organism. So, any differences between them, even in traits with ...

“Collectively, these findings suggest that increased leisure-time physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior may have beneficial effects on epigenetic aging” “Collectively, these findings ...

Why do identical twins sometimes experience different health outcomes as they age? How is it that a pregnant woman’s nutrition can influence her unborn child’s future risk of developing certain ...
