Epigenetic therapies are offering a more targeted way to treat some lymphomas by changing how genes are turned on or off ...

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.

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more ...

Epigenetic programming from prolonged undernutrition and terror can persist 3–4 generations, plausibly contributing to ...

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 ...

Researchers developed FLAV-27, an epigenetic drug that inhibits G9a to restore gene expression in Alzheimer’s models. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
