Pregnancy was found to accelerate epigenetic aging by up to 5.3 years in nulliparous women, a prospective study has found. Further, an older first trimester epigenetic age was associated with a ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...

Aging is inevitable, but how fast your cells age isn't set in stone. On a molecular level, biological age is measured using something called the epigenetic clock, which isn't tied to chronological age ...

Introduction: Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by cystine accumulation in lysosomes that causes early renal dysfunction and progressive chronic kidney disease. Although ...

“Collectively, these findings suggest that increased leisure-time physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior may have beneficial effects on epigenetic aging” “Collectively, these findings ...

Epigenome editing has undergone something of a renaissance in recent years, but scientists have been using basic gene-modulation tools for much longer. Two of the earliest were transcriptional ...

A U.S. scientist in Oviedo, Spain, is advancing cancer research with a focus on epigenetics and immunity. Her project explores how neutrophils, immune cells that navigate tight spaces to fight ...
