Aging involves complex cellular and molecular changes, including epigenetic modifications like Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation and histone marks. Age predictors, or "clocks," have been ...

This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...

Discover how histone modifications unlock secrets of human aging, rivaling the precision of DNA methylation in decoding biological age. In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances ...

Dopamine, serotonin, and histamine carry messages between neurons. They can also influence circadian gene expression ...

Researchers uncover a link between genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, two major contributors to aging. Their findings ...

Scientists have discovered a molecular timer in mice that governs pregnancy length, offering new insights into preterm birth ...

A typical human pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but most parents know this number is only a rough estimate. Babies are born on a ...

A typical human pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but most parents know this number is only a rough estimate.   Babies are born on a seemingly unpredictable timeline, with a normal pregnancy ranging from 38 ...

This includes investigation of nuclear organization, DNA methylation, histone modification and RNA transcription. Epigenetic processes can result in intergenerational (heritable) effects as well ...

UCSF researchers discovered a molecular timer that gets activated in the first days of pregnancy and influences when mice give birth.A typical human ...
