This post is the second in a series on the relationship between epigenetic factors and the risk of developing psychiatric disorders. In the previous post I reviewed epigenetic mechanisms that may ...
The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...
Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...
In two previous posts, I introduced essential concepts of epigenetics, the role of epigenetics in mental health broadly, and reviewed research findings on epigenetic factors that increase risk of ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...
As the human body is developing, cells have to differentiate and specialize into certain specific types of cells, so they can carry out the correct function where they are supposed to, whether they ...
Researchers at DZHK found that lamin A/C regulates cysteine metabolism, which in turn controls epigenetic gene switches in ...
Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent, disabling and expensive public health crises in the United States. It affects more than 100 million Americans, with annual costs estimated at $635 billion, ...
Neurons have variable levels of chromatin compaction, shown as different shades of red. The less compact a neuron, the more likely it is to be recruited into the memory trace (green). When we form a ...

How lifestyle and environment reshape the sperm epigenome and why it matters for fertility, embryos and child health
A review in Clinical Epigenetics synthesizes growing evidence that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures such as diet, obesity, smoking, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and stress alter sperm ...
An epigenetic study found that sperm DNA methylation changes with paternal age at thousands of genomic sites, including regions linked to autism. Age-related epigenetic shifts in sperm may help ...
