Women who consumed more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed distinct DNA methylation patterns, mostly reduced across key gene ...

Researchers have created a detailed map of chemical modifications to DNA that occur in the human brain from the earliest ...

Cannabis use may leave lasting fingerprints on the human body, a study of over 1,000 adults published in 2023 suggests – not ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

In a first for the field of epigenomics, scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have demonstrated the feasibility of studying systemic differences in DNA methylation at the population ...

This study is led by Dr Cheng-Guo Duan (Center of Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, Chinese Academy of Science). As a conserved epigenetic mark, DNA cytosine methylation at 5’ position (5-mC) ...

The biomedical literature provides many examples when medical conditions that were classically viewed as a paradigm for genetic inheritance appear to be shaped by additional factors, which cannot be ...

New research shows that regular cannabis smokers bear genetic scars similar to tobacco users, but quitting can help the body recover, highlighting the potential for blood-based biomarkers in public ...

A life-altering experience “doesn’t just die with you,” one expert says. “It has a life of its own afterwards.” Scientists are gathering evidence that suggests emotional trauma can transcend ...

The cells of people who vape have been found to contain changes to DNA similar to those seen in the cells of smokers. These changes in cell DNA, known as epigenetic changes, were found in cells ...
