          The Dance of Histones and Genetics Makes Us Who We Are

          Epigenetics explores how external factors, such as diet or stress, can temporarily influence the expression of our genes. At the molecular heart of this process are histones, protein structures which DNA coils around.

          Fruitful Discovery: Pregnancy Diet Influences Brain Health across Generations

          A new study highlights that a mother's diet during early pregnancy, specifically consumption of apples and herbs, may safeguard the brain health of her offspring and even grandchildren. Using roundworms as a genetic model due to their genetic similarities to humans, the study identified a molecule in apples and herbs known as ursolic acid that helps maintain brain function by preventing the breakdown of axons.

          Epigenetic Marking of Satiety Gene Influences Obesity Risk in Women

          Researchers identified an epigenetic factor that influences women's risk of obesity. The study found that the risk of obesity increases by 44% if there are a large number of methyl groups attached to the POMC gene, associated with the feeling of satiety.

          Stress Rapidly Increases Biological Age, but Recovery Turns Back the Clock

          Stress can cause rapid and transient increases in biological age, which can be reversed upon recovery, according to a new study. Using DNA methylation clocks, researchers found that stress triggers short-term fluctuations in biological age in humans and mice. The findings challenge the idea that biological age has a unidirectional upward trajectory over the life course, and highlights the importance of reducing biological age to improve longevity.

          Childhood Abuse and Biological Sex Linked to Epigenetic Changes in Functional Neurological Disorder

          Functional movement/conversion disorder (FMD) is characterized by epigenetic changes, and women and child abuse survivors with FMD have different epigenetic profiles linked to the condition.

          Small Differences in Mom’s Behavior May Show Up in Child’s Epigenome

          A mother's social interaction with her child, especially if her behavior is cold or awkward, correlated with a small increase in methylation of the child's NR3C1 gene. The NR3C1 is involved in the regulation of the HPA-axis which plays a critical role in stress response and the production of cortisol.

          Study reports on epigenetic changes to the FKBP5 gene, a key gene associated with the regulation of stress response in the body, in babies and young children who were injured as a result of abuse, but not accidental injury.

          A New Epigenetic Brain Defense Against Recurrence of Opioid Use

          HDAC5, the "epigenetics" enzyme, plays a key role in limiting opioid-associated memories and drug-seeking behaviors following abstinence from drugs in rats. The findings provide a new avenue for the treatment of opioid addiction.

          Study reveals how signals from the environment integrate with genetic information that influences the survival and health of neurons, providing new insights into how Parkinson's disease may develop. Findings reveal the TNK2 gene mutations lead to the degeneration of dopamine producing neurons, resulting in Parkinson's disease pathology.

          Loss of Epigenetic Information Can Drive Aging, Restoration Can Reverse It

          Epigenetics can drive aging in an organism, independently of alterations in the genetic code itself. The breakdown of epigenetic information results in aging in mice, yet restoring the integrity of the epigenome reverses signs of aging.

          Twins who were more physically active had lower signs of metabolic disease and epigenetic markers linked to decreased risk of metabolic syndrome. Findings suggest metabolic diseases are strongly influenced by how a person interacts with their environment as opposed to just their inherited genetics.
