Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role ...

New research shows that childhood maltreatment can accelerate cellular aging and disrupt social behavior as early as age four ...

Amber Salzman, Ph.D., CEO at Epicrispr Biotechnologies, joined the Business of Biotech live in Boston to talk about ...

This finding proves for the first time that vertebrates have more than one type of epigenetic DNA mark and sheds new light on how genes are regulated in the earliest stages of development. Their ...

Epigenetics regulates gene expression through modifications, impacting health and disease. Aberrant patterns can lead to conditions like cancer and depression.

A lesser-known genetic code influences your health—and that of your kids and grandkids. The post Why You Need to Know About Epigenetics appeared first on Worth.

The findings, published in Nature Cancer, identified two distinct epigenetic states that arise during development and are linked to cancer risk.

Scientists at the IMB have identified 5-formylcytosine (5fC) as an activating epigenetic mark that initiates gene expression in early vertebrate development. This discovery challenges previous notions ...

Thanks to the growing field of epigenetics, we're learning more about the interplay of genetic inheritance and environment in disease development and how we can mitigate it.
