Human Wellness is an area of increased focus and growth – and it is not limited to lycra wearing gym bunnies. Human Wellness is a much more nuanced condition and incorporates mindfulness, walking, ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...

Epigenetics has broad impact on overall health. Identical twins Tiki and Ronde Barber have led parallel lives in football with parallel genes. Both were born premature, but grew into powerful athletes ...

Epigenetics, the study of non-DNA-sequence-related heredity, has transformed how we think about gene expression and replication. We now know that epigenetic marks can vary among different tissues of ...

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can significantly impact gene activity and cellular ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...

In his book The Triple Helix, Richard Lewontin underscores the importance of integrating the contribution of genes, the organism, and the environment, if one intends to fully understand biological ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly emerging area of medical research that examines changes in the biological structure of function related to heritable changes in the expression or activity of genes that do not ...

In two previous posts, I introduced essential concepts of epigenetics, the role of epigenetics in mental health broadly, and reviewed research findings on epigenetic factors that increase risk of ...

Epigenetics, a term coined by Conrad H. Waddington in the early 1940s, originally described the complex molecular pathways that govern how a genotype manifests as a phenotype. Over time, this ...
