The science of epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene activity that occur without altering the underlying DNA ...

Among genetically identical "agouti viable yellow" (A vy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags—such as ...

The preprint I introduced the other day (below) presented biological age using an epigenetic clock as an indicator. I think ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 26, 2025, titled "Epigenetic aging signatures and age prediction in human skeletal muscle." In this study, first ...

At a conference hall in Amsterdam this past October, researchers gathered for the seventh International Conference on ...

A healthy diet lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the extent of this protective effect may be influenced by ...

This study shows, for the first time, that epigenetic defects in the human genome are widespread, and occur at hundreds of genes known to cause genetic diseases. "Because the epigenetic variants we ...

Diet can leave lasting epigenetic marks that reshape gene expression, metabolic pathways, and disease susceptibility across the lifespan. These diet-driven molecular changes may create a form of ...

At first glimpse, C. elegans and people appear to have nothing in common. The nematode worm, whose full scientific name is Caenorhabditis elegans, measures about one millimeter in length, ...
