But what if certain food items could help or harm us in a place we may never have considered – like our DNA? A developing field called nutriepigenomics examines … Continue reading Epigenetics, Nutrition, and Our Health: How What We Eat Could Affect Tags on Our DNA

Viruses Could Epigenetically Modify a Person’s DNA
Viruses can cause many different health problems in humans including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, herpes, and even cancer. They are an extremely small foreign organism that invade healthy cells, and seek to wreak havoc in a healthy human or animal. Viruses are comprised of either RNA or DNA covered in a protein shell, and cannot reproduce on … Continue reading Viruses Could Epigenetically Modify a Person’s DNA

Sven Sandin, who worked on the study at King’s College London and Sweden’s Karolinska institute, said it was prompted “by … Continue reading Environment As Important As Genes In Autism, Study Finds
Epigenetics and environmental chemical exposures
Prenatal exposures to environmental pollutants may lead to chronic diseases later in life.Toxic effects of environmental pollution on human health are well recognized. Yet, for a long time conventional wisdom held that a child developing in the womb is sufficiently protected and insulated by the placenta from harmful pollutants outside. This expectation no longer holds … Continue reading Epigenetics and environmental chemical exposures

Could We Reverse Alzheimer’s Symptoms by Restoring Epigenetic Balance?
Fascinating new research out of Drexel University suggests that restoring balance to certain epigenetic enzymes might reinstate memory and lead us closer to a potential therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. This devastating type of dementia causes issues with memory, cognition, and behavior. Could epigeneticshelp reverse symptoms and bring back cognitive abilities in those with Alzheimer’s?The symptoms … Continue reading Could We Reverse Alzheimer’s Symptoms by Restoring Epigenetic Balance?
What is Epigenetics?
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence but can also … Continue reading What is Epigenetics?
