A recent review by Prof. Zhu Bing and Associate Professor Xiong Jun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy ...

Green tea, turmeric and berries – all classed as ‘methyl adaptogens’ – are amongst the foods that can help reverse biological ageing, according to a new study ...

Long-term, persistent weekly or more frequent cannabis smoking leaves a distinct and partially reversible epigenetic ...

Epigenetics is the study of how genes are turned off and on. ... boosts the activity of some genes and quiets others by adding and removing chemical tags—called methyl groups—to genes.

In the study, scientists analyzed DNA from 368 placenta samples, focusing on a type of epigenetic change called DNA methylation, which affects gene expression.

Epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation, are primary drivers of aging in humans, and longevity researchers can use the buildup of these alterations over time as biological or epigenetic clocks ...

These DNA methylation modifications can be stable throughout the life of the affected individual and may even be passed on to their children. This is of particular interest in epigenetics, which ...

The market, dominated by DNA methylation, sees significant contributions from North America, with the U.S. leading. Major players include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Illumina, and Roche Diagnostics ...

The appeal of these tests is undeniable. Health-conscious consumers may see their results as reinforcing their anti-ageing ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

We all like to imagine we're aging well. Now a simple blood or saliva test promises to tell us by measuring our "biological ...
