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…
The alarming rise in the frequency of hypospadias, the most common genital malformation in male infants, is believed to be caused by environmental factors such…
A new study from Washington State University has found that consistent exercise can alter the molecules in the body that influence how genes behave, in…
New research led by Washington State University has found that a common chemotherapy drug called ifosfamide may have toxic effects that can be passed down…
Men currently age faster than women, but the gap is shrinking. Men are biologically older than women, according to research from the University of Jyväskylä…
Scientists identify two distinct types of obesity. A team led by Van Andel Institute scientists discovered two distinct types of obesity with physiological and molecular…
Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes results in altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating ‘transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.’ Without changing the genetic code…
The discovery indicates that epigenetic inheritance could occur more frequently than previously believed. A fundamental discovery concerning a driver of healthy development in embryos might…
