Epigenetic mechanisms are affected by several factors and processes including development in utero and in childhood, environmental chemicals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, aging, and diet.

Still, much of the scientific community has expressed doubt that such mechanisms play significant roles in the long-term evolution of populations and species. In many species, eggs and sperm undergo ...

which are yielding new insights on the gene regulatory mechanisms in T helper (T H) cells and other cell types. Compelling evidence indicates that epigenetic modifications at T H-cytokine and ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a lasting impact on the innate ...

Despite this criticism, many researchers haven’t given up on the possibility that one generation’s environment can influence future generations via epigenetic mechanisms. While there isn’t strong ...

A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-altered, is a lethal pediatric high-grade tumor, lacking effective treatment options, ...

Obesity speeds up biological aging at the molecular level, but this study finds that a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD ...

At the molecular level, early-life stress can substantially alter neuronal gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. These changes may lead to long-term modifications in how the brain responds to ...
