The human gut renews itself faster than any other tissue: every few days, new cells are created from specialized stem cells.

Research has shown that children who experience adversity during their early years may undergo faster biological aging. Nonetheless, a recent study reveals that positive parenting interventions can ...

A specific form of epigenetic aging, ACCA drift, accumulates in intestinal stem cells, silencing key genes through hypermethylation. Driven by age-related inflammation, weakened Wnt signaling and ...

This activity could slow your DNA's aging clock. It's free, and no, you don't have to exercise or eat vegetables for it to ...

The Epigenetics Research Innovation Lab (ERIL) has been established to contribute to the growing epigenetics research community at MSK and support efforts to define the epigenetic mechanisms that ...

This article explores how epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression, how their disruption drives cancer and how targeting ...

Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes leads to altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating 'transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.' Without altering the genetic ...

First author Kiyomi Kaneshiro in the Strome lab at UC Santa Cruz. Without altering the genetic code in the DNA, epigenetic modifications can change how genes are expressed, affecting an organism’s ...
