A Stimulating Environment May Prevent The Brain From Epigenetically Aging
…methylation changes are highly associated with aging and age-related diseases, such as those involving brain deterioration and neurodegeneration. Certain lifestyle factors, including physical exercise, cognitive stimulation, and socialization, have been…
Twins Study Reveals Epigenetic Signature Linked to Obesity
Obesity stands as a multifaceted health concern affecting millions worldwide. While diet and lifestyle play pivotal roles, researchers are now looking much deeper to determine if susceptibility to obesity could…
High Sugar Diet May Epigenetically Affect Sperm Quality
…While correlation does not necessarily mean causation, the relationship between fertility and obesity is important to focus on, and it is of interest to identify how lifestyle factors can be…
Paternal Exercise Epigenetically Enhances Expression and Inheritance of a Key Gene Involved in Learning and Memory
It is widely known that a mother has substantial influence over her offspring during prenatal development. Her eating, exercising, and overall lifestyle can have lifelong effects for her children. But…
Exposure to Cold Temperatures Can Change Our Gene Expression and Fat Cells
…lifestyle choices and exposure to our environment can dictate the way our genes express themselves, an overarching theme of epigenetics. A group of researchers based out of Tokyo worked alongside…
Cannabis Use Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Epigenome
…factors such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA interactions, playing a crucial role in how environmental and lifestyle factors shape health outcomes. As such, they are important targets…
Bipolar Disorder Linked to Accelerated Epigenetic Aging
…faster regardless of their lifestyle. Histone modifications have also been found to influence aging and could perhaps hold the key to reversing aging, although much more research must be done…
The Epigenetic Clues Behind Biological Skin Age: Why Skin Can Look Older Than Its Years
…clocks, which estimate biological age using DNA methylation patterns. This matters because skin is constantly exposed to the outside world. Ultraviolet radiation, pollution, oxidative stress, lifestyle factors, and temperature changes…
Epigenetic Acceleration in Skin Aging: Why Some Skin Ages Faster Than Time
…gradually as part of the body’s normal biological timeline. Accelerated aging occurs when environmental and lifestyle stressors cause the skin to age faster than expected. This matters because skin that…
