A new review maps how common genetic variants, insertion/deletion polymorphisms, microRNAs, DNA methylation and histone ...

Epigenetics has spent the past two decades promising to rewrite the rules of biology. The idea that chemical tags sitting on top of DNA can switch genes on and off, that these tags can be shaped by ...

An exercise intervention is associated with improvements in attention and memory and with slower epigenetic aging among ...

Scientists report that epigenetic markers in the blood could be useful for understanding dementia risk. Two linked papers from the University of Exeter and Maastricht University show the potential for ...

Researchers at the Cancer Epigenetics Institute (CEI) at Fox Chase Cancer Center have discovered how to control and stop the ...

One in three breast cancer survivors will experience cognitive problems, which can include difficulties with attention, ...

“This is among the first human studies suggesting that Niagen NR supplementation may alter epigenetic aging in skeletal muscle, rather than simply increasing NAD+ or improving mitochondrial function,” ...

The complex network of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors believed to contribute to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is slowly being dissected, researchers report in a special issue of ...

(Beyond Pesticides, January 16, 2025) In Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, researchers highlight a multitude of studies on endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and endocrine disrupting ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...
