Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body destroys its own insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas, leaving patients with a lifelong dependency on external insulin. Children ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

Over the past few decades, growing evidence has challenged the belief that inheritance is governed solely by DNA sequences. Scientists now recognise the crucial role of epigenetic inheritance – the ...

Our physiology is shaped in part by our genes, and how those genes are expressed. Many things can influence gene expression and function, including epigenetic changes, which do not alter the sequence ...

Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, according to a recent narrative review. The findings are published in the ...
