The new research hints at a possible throughline between the epigenetics of the placenta and these harmful immune responses. However, "the one problem is that this paper does not provide direct ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show that this is all down to epigenetics. Epigenetics is the part of ...

Lee’s research is contributing to the emerging field of epigenetics—the study of how our environment and behavior cause changes that affect the ways in which our genes function. Factors that can ...

Changes in these factors can play a critical role in disease. Epigenetics involves genetic control by factors other than an individual's DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes can switch genes on or off ...

Hathway’s technology uses natural epigenetic processes to dial gene activity up or down, rather than rewriting the genetic code. The company is using this to develop therapies for rare diseases and ...

In labs around the world, unusual mice scuttle around their cages. Half of each mouse’s tail is coated with fur the shade of burnt toast, while the tip is drained of color. It’s a telltale sign of ...

One mechanism proposed to mediate both long and short term changes in neurons is epigenetics. Cells use epigenetics to modify and regulate their genome without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

An international research team led by Helmholtz Munich has, for the first time, provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material is established in the cell nucleus of ...

Mar. 28, 2024 — A research consortium provides evidence that social behavior and social status are reflected at the molecular level of gene activation (epigenome) in ... New Study Reveals ...

The yellow agouti mouse has been a great animal model with which to study epigenetics and fetal programming. Recently, it has also been used to show that dietary factors can prevent the agouti ...
