“ […] methylation entropy is measuring different properties of a locus compared to mean methylation and CHALM, and that loci ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 3, on March 12, 2025, titled "DNA methylation entropy is a biomarker for aging." ...

Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic ...

DNA methylation is a key factor in the regulation of organismal development and tissue homeostasis. DNA methylation marks indicate how to regulate ...

One of the most studied modifications is DNA methylation, a process in which methyl groups—small molecules composed of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms—are added to specific regions of the DNA.

The distinction between biological and chronological age is vital for risk assessment and interventions aimed at enhancing longevity and quality of life.

A new study reveals how the Dnmt3a mutation drives blood stem cell overgrowth, contributing to clonal hematopoiesis and ...

Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how ...

“Retro-Age offers a new lens through which we can understand the aging process and provides a ... environmental factors could ...

The researchers examined 850,000 sites of DNA methylation, where small chemical tags called methyl groups are added to DNA. This process can alter gene expression without changing the underlying ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

One of the most studied modifications is DNA methylation, a process in which methyl groups -- small molecules composed of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms -- are added to specific regions of ...
