Emerging research highlights the complexities of cardiovascular medicine, particularly regarding the interplay between genetic predispositions, ...

Changes in these factors can play a critical role in disease. Epigenetics involves genetic control by factors other than an individual's DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes can switch genes on or off ...

The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi)—a molecular process where double-stranded RNA can deplete mRNA via sequence-specific mechanisms—demonstrated both effective and specific RNA-mediated ...

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 ...

The past is present. The study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, specifically looked at the epigenetics of ...

Fathers exposed to high stress in childhood had different epigenetic markers that may affect their offspring, though more research is needed.

Japan's epigenetics market is evolving rapidly, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven research and personalized medicine, ...

The International Max Planck Research School for Epigenetics, Biophysics and Metabolism (IMPRS-EBM) of the Max Planck Institute in Freiburg (MPI-IE) is looking for talented and motivated students with ...

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

Scientists say identification of two epigenetically different states in mouse model opens door to "entirely new world of ...

A person's lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born, reports a paradigm-shifting study by Van Andel Institute scientists.

If the development of blood vessels in the placenta is impaired, fetal growth retardation may result. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Mannheim Medical Faculty of ...
