Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a promising new approach that could be used to treat a rare and ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol — a necessary hormone for fetal development — and this would affect the baby's development from very ...

Epigenetic clocks show varying accuracy across tissues, underscoring the need for tissue-specific calibration in biological ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

The behavior of a person's genes doesn't just depend on the genes' DNA sequence - it's also affected by so-called epigenetic factors. Changes in these factors can play a critical role in disease.

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

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics come in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their activity without modifying the DNA or RNA sequence itself. Until now ...
