Social stress can affect the way genes are expressed. A new study has found that epigenetic effects could explain why some people who experience trauma in childhood have an increase in the risk of ...

Researchers assessed DNA methylation at 800,000 sites in the genome in blood samples collected from 900 people. The study includes extensive clinical information on participants, who all provided ...

In a recent study published in the Science Advances Journal, researchers reported the link between aging, cancer, and epigenomic changes. Recent studies have reported that aging is a leading risk ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

Most of us know that our genes determine our traits—but that's only half the story. The field of epigenetics has reshaped how scientists think about gene regulation, revealing layers of control beyond ...

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 ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

Barça Innovation Hub and IDIBAPS have published a groundbreaking article that analyses, for the first time, the epigenome of footballers from both the men’s and women’s teams, exploring whether ...

Epigenetic clocks provide a molecular framework for assessing biological ovarian age by integrating DNA methylation patterns with hallmarks of reproductive aging. While these clocks show moderate ...
