The gut microbiome and epigenetics—molecular switches that turn genes on or off—are intertwined, and both contribute to ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Epigenetic clocks provide a molecular framework for assessing biological ovarian age by integrating DNA methylation patterns with hallmarks of reproductive aging. While these clocks show moderate ...

A study reveals that DNA modifications shape individual behavior, and ecological niches, while feedback from environmental changes creates new epigenetic patterns, influencing evolution.

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may affect the epigenetics of the placenta, slightly raising the risk of certain health impacts for babies. To date, ART ...
