Epigenetics and Cancer The first human disease to be linked to epigenetics was cancer, in 1983. Researchers found that diseased tissue from patients with colorectal cancer had less DNA methylation ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Discover how the revolutionary field of epigenetics and the development of an epigenetic map of the human genome are paving ...

epigenetics is how those genes react to our environment,” he says. Muhdo, founded in March 2017, initially targeted elite athletes who needed to measure and improve human performance.

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 ...

Perhaps surprisingly, there has been little research done to date on what heat does to human epigenetics. In 2020, we conducted a systemic review of the science of how environment affects human ...

The IHEC will coordinate the efforts of member agencies from the EU, United States, Japan, and other countries to generate a reference epigenome that can be used in much the same way that the human ...
