TippingPoint Biosciences today announced the closing of an oversubscribed $4.5 million seed financing to advance a breakthrough drug discovery platform that targets epigenetic pro ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition in which amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles accumulate in the brain. In addition to genetic factors, DNA damage and epigenetic ...

Aging may "erase" the epigenetic markers that control gene expression in the brain, and this may snowball to cause unintended ...

Researchers showed that chronic colitis leaves a long-lasting epigenetic memory in colonic stem cells, persisting for more than 100 days after recovery in mice. This memory is marked by durable ...

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 ...

Epigenetics is the study of processes other than the underlying DNA sequence that affect how genes are expressed. Environmental effects, for example, can cause genes to be activated or inhibited, and ...

Epigenetics confers a survival advantage in plants to endure harsh weather by inducing bud dormancy. Environmental factors or intrinsic signals trigger the transition between growth and dormancy.

How does alcohol change your brain at a genetic level? A new study reveals that alcohol metabolites directly alter epigenetic ...

At first glimpse, C. elegans and people appear to have nothing in common. The nematode worm, whose full scientific name is Caenorhabditis elegans, measures about one millimeter in length, ...
