Diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to be one of the most prevalent and complex metabolic diseases globally, affecting ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...

In a recent publication released by PubMed, American scientists led by Dr. Dufault at the Food Ingredient and Health Research Institute, reported the results of a clinical trial in which parents who ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Most of us measure our ages chronologically, but recently, scientists have developed a way to measure biological age using a so-called epigenetic clock. Epigenetics refers to the many characteristics ...

Modulation of gene expression allows adaptation to environmental changes. Epigenetic mechanisms contribute to both acute and ...

A brief history of the term and concept epigenetics / Brian K. Hall -- Heuristic reductionism and the relative significance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution / James Griesemer -- The epigenetics ...

Epigenetics refer to DNA modifications that may affect phenotype but don’t alter the nucleotide sequence itself. Epigenetic changes can often be passed down generations, hence the Greek prefix “epi”, ...
