Neural small RNAs regulate germline genes to control behavior transgenerationally in nematodes.
By altering the epigenetic markers on chromosomes, researchers witnessed changed gene expression in offspring and grand-offspring. The findings reveal the occurrence of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
According to researchers, tea consumption leads to epigenetic changes in women, involving genes associated with cancer and estrogen metabolism.
Teens who experience maladaptive relationships show physical and epigenetic signs of premature aging when they reach adulthood.
A new study reports telomere length may be shortened in newborn babies whose mothers did not graduate high school.
According to a new study, researchers have successfully profiled key features of genetic materials inside three types of neurons.
Cortical and subcortical memory regions exhibit distinct genetic signatures that reflect potential differences in health and disease.
A new study reports unborn children can carry out asymmetric hand movements as early as 12 weeks gestation.
A new study reveals epigenetics may play a key role in memory and learning.
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.
Researchers investigate the role the BMI1 gene plays in the onset and development of Alzheimer's disease. The study reports the loss of BMI1 triggers and increased production of amyloid beta and decreases neural ability to eliminate the protein.
Findings could help develop new regenerative medicines and provide additional understanding of how we are able to reprogram cells from one form to another.
