The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of ...

A map of DNA methylation changes in human organs could help researchers to discover more targets for anti-ageing therapies.

Researchers have developed the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation. The study identified ...

DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mechanism in numerous biological processes, including gene regulation, development, ageing and the onset of various diseases such as cancer. Studies of ...

The epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Children from low-income families may be more vulnerable to age-related cognitive decline, according to a new twin study ...

Researchers explore DNA methylation patterns for early ovarian cancer detection, aiming to improve survival rates through ...

The FTO gene, known for its association with appetite regulation and metabolic efficiency, is included in all Life X DNA panels. FTO gene testing can provide information on genetic variants that may ...

An analysis of a clinical trial involving 777 older adults suggests that daily omega-3 intake can moderately slow biological aging, with combined interventions showing the strongest effects on aging ...
