In recent years, the field of neuroscience has uncovered fascinating insights into how our early environments shape who we become. One of the most groundbreaking areas of this research focuses on the ...

Mouse data from a new study published Feb. 28 in Nature and sponsored in part by Chroma Medicine suggest that epigenetic gene silencing can suppress the target gene for nearly a year, providing new ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Fathers exposed to high stress in childhood had different epigenetic markers that may affect their offspring, though more research is needed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

While hoarding behavior has traditionally been understood through psychological and environmental lenses, recent research suggests that epigenetics may play a significant role in the development and ...
