Epigenetic reprogramming holds promise for reversing aging, addressing cellular aging mechanisms and paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

An international research team led by Helmholtz Munich has, for the first time, provided a detailed insight into how the ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there ...

Early DNA Organization is Robust and FlexibleWhen the egg and sperm fuse, a comprehensive reorganization of DNA begins within ...

Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how ...

Reported epigenetic changes in gametes, especially sperm cells, in response to environmental factors include changes in the level of certain RNAs, in DNA methylation patterns, and in modifications to ...

Scientists found that pseudouridine helps small RNAs pass on traits and avoid immune detection, offering clues for future RNA ...

In contrast, epigenetic variation does not change the words themselves. Instead, it is more like highlighting specific words or adding a bookmark in the chapter.

While widely accepted as feasible, the exact mechanism behind this hypothesis is unclear. Now, a recent study published March 14 in the journal Nature Communications, reveals that part of the answer ...

It is well recognized that environmental exposures, particularly early-life stress, can contribute to epigenetic alterations ...

Epigenetic markers, which are chemical modifications affecting gene activity, can predict cardiometabolic disease risk and guide personalized prevention strategies.
