A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein. This absolute theory has been debunked because ...

Adults with wheezing mainly caused by chronic pulmonary conditions showed significantly accelerated epigenetic aging than those without wheezing, based on data from more than 2000 individuals.

From birth-month signatures to global climate gradients, emerging evidence indicates that seasonal light, temperature, and ...

A new review published in the Biomolecules and Biomedicine journal sheds light on how genetics and epigenetics shape the development of periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to ...

The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein. This absolute theory has been debunked because ...

Monash University researchers, in collaboration with Harvard University, have discovered how to permanently "switch off" cancer-causing genes, revealing a new approach to cancer treatment. The ...

Changes in epigenetic regulation have been found in multiple metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and osteoporosis. However, how these epigenetic ...

A new epigenetic editing tool shows promise as a therapy for prion disease. The approach for silencing prion protein (PrP), is both specific and can lead to wide-spread knockdown expression of PrP ...
