A recent study conducted by Lund University researchers, and published in Nature Communications, suggests that epigenetic changes might be a causal factor in the development…
Research indicates smoking’s prolonged influence on immunity, linked to epigenetic changes, persists even after quitting. Like other factors such as age, sex, and genetics, smoking…
Research highlights the critical role of endothelial cells and DNA methylation in cancer metastasis, pointing to new strategies for diagnosis and therapy. Scientists from the…
Epigenetics involves chemical processes that regulate gene activity, enabling our cells, tissues, and organs to adapt to environmental changes. However, this adaptive benefit has a…
Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, at the school’s South Bend regional campus, and their colleagues at the University of Notre Dame, have…
A team of European researchers has developed an innovative test that accurately measures biological aging in a clinical setting. The discovery was made while studying…
Two Eötvös Loránd University researchers have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös…
Every cell synthesizes its own proteins by interpreting the genetic information in its genes. Mutations, which are changes in this information, can impair the function…
Researchers have discovered molecular markers in cheek cells that could predict obesity, potentially allowing for early interventions and a shift towards preventative healthcare measures. A…
A graduate student’s curiosity has uncovered a previously unknown connection between two important hallmarks of cancer: chromosomal instability and epigenetic alterations. The ensuing research, recently…
MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before. Researchers at MIT have created a…
In both preclinical models and human subjects, stress caused by surgery, pregnancy, and severe COVID-19 has been shown to accelerate signs of biological aging. However,…
A recent study in mice has found that a history of obesity resulting from a high-fat diet can induce lasting changes in innate immunity that…
Johns Hopkins University researchers have discovered that the protein histone H3 in roundworm chromosomes influences cell differentiation and pluripotency, challenging traditional views on heredity and…
An 8-week methylation-supportive diet and lifestyle program was found to significantly decrease biological age in a case series of women, suggesting that such interventions may…
Evidence suggests that exercise creates a molecular profile in muscle that is consistent with the expression of youthful-promoting Yamanaka factors. A recent study published in…
A recent technical report in Nature Cell Biology has introduced a novel method to examine specific alterations in DNA following replication. Scientists have devised a…
