All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Epigenetic changes play important roles in cancer, metabolic and aging-related diseases, but also during loss of resilience as they cause the genetic material to be incorrectly interpreted in affected ...

Epigenetics is a particularly interesting subject for scientists studying learning and memory because it has the potential to underlie both long term and transient changes in gene expression.

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...

While hoarding behavior has traditionally been understood through psychological and environmental lenses, recent research suggests that epigenetics may play a significant role in the development and ...
