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.

DNA methylation data can be used to estimate biological age, but results across commercial tests differ, raising questions ...

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 ...

Dr. Jennifer Amengual explains how epigenetic therapies treat lymphomas by changing gene expression rather than killing dividing cells like chemotherapy. Epigenetic therapies are offering a more ...

Investigators from VHIO, which is part of the Vall Hebron Campus, publish the first study to address the impact of the exposome on early-onset colorectal cancer through epigenetic signatures. The ...

A new study suggests that a common pesticide, picloram, may contribute to growing rates of early onset colorectal cancer, asides from known risk factors such as smoking and diet.

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to explore the genome to learn how humans adapted to live in a wide range of environments. Research has shown, for instance, that Tibetans living at high ...

A study led by José A. Seoane, Head of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology's (VHIO) Computational Biology Group ...

A new study indicates scientists may be able to tell if a baby was breastfed by a blood test.
