Epigenetics is like a symphony conductor, who with just a gesture of the baton, conveys the message to quiet the strings while turning up the horns. The symphony as a whole remains intact, but the ...

A discussion of nature versus nurture wouldn’t be complete without an explanation of epigenetics. Tossed into the debate as the answer we’ve all been waiting for, epigenetics simply adds one more ...

In our body we find more than 250 different cell types. They all contain the exact same DNA bases in exactly the same order; however, liver or nerve cells look very different and have different skills ...

There has always been a place in biology for words that have different meanings for different people. Epigenetics is an extreme case, because it has several meanings with independent roots. To Conrad ...

Scientists are working to develop an operational definition of "epigenetics" -- a rapidly growing research field that investigates heritable alterations in gene expression caused by mechanisms other ...

Isn't our genetic legacy hardwired? From Mendel and Darwin in the 19th century to Watson and Crick in the 20th, scientists have shown that chromosomes passed from parent to child form a genetic ...

Last Friday, an FDA advisory panel voted unanimously against recommending the Alzheimer’s drug aducanumab. Based on evidence from two clinical trials, they found that the data did not show that the ...
