Figure 1. Epigenetic clocks reflect the average DNA methylation signal across multiple cell types/states in a tissue. Variations in this composition impact the interpretation of such clocks. As ...

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...

Human Wellness is an area of increased focus and growth – and it is not limited to lycra wearing gym bunnies. Human Wellness is a much more nuanced condition and incorporates mindfulness, walking, ...

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Epigenome editing has undergone something of a renaissance in recent years, but scientists have been using basic gene-modulation tools for much longer. Two of the earliest were transcriptional ...

The narrative of human existence has long been shaped by archetypes—universal patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that resonate deeply across cultures and epochs. Derived from Carl Jung's ...

A new study suggests that boys who become overweight in their early teens risk damaging the genes of their future children, increasing their chances of developing asthma, obesity and low lung function ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

Scientists may be one step closer to understanding why polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) tends to run in families. The new research, presented July 1 at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society ...
