Researchers at Indiana University and Notre Dame have discovered a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension, focusing on reversing vascular remodeling through an epigenetic pathway…
A groundbreaking study in cancer epigenetics has analyzed 1.7 million cells across various cancers, uncovering unique DNA activation patterns crucial for cancer progression. This research…
Washington State University researchers have found an epigenetic signature in the cheek cells of obese twins that differs from their non-obese siblings, pointing to a…
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have discovered how histone H3, a protein in roundworm chromosomes, enables offspring to produce specialized cells generations later, challenging the…
The data suggest “that a methylation-supportive diet and lifestyle intervention may favorably influence biological age in both sexes during middle age and older.” An 8-week…
Exercise has the ability to imitate the molecular profile of muscles that have been subjected to Yamanaka factors, resulting in a molecular expression similar to…
The new approach is called iDEMS (isolation of DNA by EdU labeling for Mass Spectrometry). A recent technical report in Nature Cell Biology has introduced…
According to a new study, twins who engage in high levels of physical activity (defined as more than 150 minutes of exercise per week) show…
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be used to cure cancer, reduce the size…
The study found that men are biologically older than women of the same age. Men currently age faster than women, but the gap is shrinking. …
The research also sheds light on the role of epigenetics and chance in health, as well as the relationship between insulin and obesity. Scientists identify…
A new research study reveals how a common type of epigenetic modification can be transmitted via sperm not only from parents to offspring, but to…
Inheritance, as it pertains to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and transferred from parent to child during reproduction. The discovery…
The researchers evaluated changes in DNA methylation and discovered that hibernation slows biological aging. A recent study headed by University of Maryland scientists explains why…
HIV-infected people showed significant age acceleration in four epigenetic “clock” measurements, ranging from 1.9 to 4.8 years, an acceleration that was not seen in non-infected…
Wayne State University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a unique approach for measuring the age of male sperm has the potential to predict pregnancy…
Image showing artificial ovary, where in vitro-generated female germ cells (magenta) enter meiosis (yellow cells) to become oocytes with help from supporting cells (cyan). This…
