The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

A review article titled "Epigenetics and Environmental Health" provides an in-depth analysis of how epigenetic modifications ...

Research on epigenetic changes resulting from the environment can give us clues into obesity in mice--and humans. For instance, in normal, healthy mice, the agouti genes are kept in the "off ...

All in all, this research shows that the genome isn't a fixed instruction manual—it is more like a living negotiation between environmental inputs and epigenetic controls. More information: Kehui Zhu ...

elegans and potentially in certain plants. All it takes for epigenetics to affect evolution, Oldroyd says, is a change in gene expression—triggered, for instance, by an environmental perturbation—and ...

By revealing the molecular mechanisms of environmental-induced epigenetic alterations as well as their consequences on gene regulation and embryonic development, we will clarify the etiology of ...

May 9, 2024 — A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific ...

We will explore how stress in early life influences reproductive health in females through a network of researchers in epigenetics and social science. The focus will be on groups of Bangladeshi ...

Light helps us wake up, keeps us alert, and guides our sleep. But what happens when light becomes erratic? As a researcher ...
