DNA methylation data can be used to estimate biological age, but results across commercial tests differ, raising questions ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Epigenetic clocks provide a molecular framework for assessing biological ovarian age by integrating DNA methylation patterns with hallmarks of reproductive aging. While these clocks show moderate ...

Two years of daily multivitamin use was associated with slower biological aging compared with placebo in older adults, ...

Noodles, vegetables and mushrooms. Image by Tim Sandle. Noodles, vegetables and mushrooms. Image by Tim Sandle. Diet and nutrition are regularly discussed subjects. What is less reported is what is ...

The gut microbiome and epigenetics—molecular switches that turn genes on or off—are intertwined, and both contribute to ...

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may affect the epigenetics of the placenta, slightly raising the risk of certain health impacts for babies. To date, ART ...
