A new 500-person study in Spain is investigating if daily kefir consumption can measurably change your gut microbiome.

We are more than the sum of our genes. Epigenetic mechanisms modulated by environmental cues such as diet, disease or lifestyle take a major role in regulating the DNA by switching genes on and off.

Last Friday, an FDA advisory panel voted unanimously against recommending the Alzheimer’s drug aducanumab. Based on evidence from two clinical trials, they found that the data did not show that the ...

We often hear the phrase, "You are what you eat." But what if it also applied to your children—even before they're born? Research from the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) ...

Epigenetics is like a symphony conductor, who with just a gesture of the baton, conveys the message to quiet the strings while turning up the horns. The symphony as a whole remains intact, but the ...

Our genes are encoded in the DNA sequence of the genome, which is highly similar across the diverse cell types of our body. Yet, each cell can only access those genes that are in an epigenetically ...

Epigenetics is the study of chemical reactions that influence gene expression, through activation or deactivation of genes at specific times and locations. These changes in gene expression do not ...

From the beginning of time, humankind has searched for the secret to a long life. Now science may have found an answer, in the form of molecular augury. The pattern of chemical chains that attach to ...

Scientists have found a way to manipulate gene expression using the gene editing tool CRISPR, and they have shown that it is possible to control one aspect of the inflammatory response this way. This ...
