Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

We don’t know about you, but we spend an awful lot of time thinking about these questions. We often reflect on our lives and how experiences have shaped our paths. We have been taught to consider our ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

A new editorial was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 14 on July 17, 2024, entitled, "Recalibrate concepts of ...

A new study on the epigenetics of lactose intolerance may provide an approach to understanding schizophrenia and other complex, serious illnesses. Both lactose intolerance and schizophrenia are ...

A decline in the expression of the epigenetic regulator Setd8 in neural stem cells (NSCs) during early adulthood leads to chromatin condensation and reduced gene expression, suppressing NSC ...
