When the flu hits, it typically hits hard and fast. At first, you might only notice a slight cough and some sniffles and then, before you know it, you’re unable to get out of bed. The fever, sore throat, chills, muscle aches, and overall exhaustion take over your body and you’re done for — at … Continue reading The Epigenetics Behind the Flu
Inheritance and Transmission of Epigenetic Memory Across Generations
New research has been suggesting that parents can transmit changes to their gene expression to their children. The heritable changes occur as a result of environmental stresses and are known as epigenetic modifications. A previous article covered the epigenetic transfer of nutrition “memory” across several generations. Now, a recent study by researchers from the University of California in Santa … Continue reading Inheritance and Transmission of Epigenetic Memory Across Generations
Diet and Good Gut Bacteria Could Epigenetically Change Your Gene Expression
There are many different diets available in the nutritional world today that could dramatically adjust our gut bacteria, depending on what we consume. High-fat, low-carb diets, low-fat, high-carb diets, fasting, and cleanses are just a few examples of popular diets, and even what some may call “fads”, which might leave a person confused (and hungry). … Continue reading Diet and Good Gut Bacteria Could Epigenetically Change Your Gene Expression
Why Food Is The Most Powerful Drug | Dr. Mark Hyman
In this A-Fest talk, Dr. Mark Hyman reveals that food is the most powerful drug, and how to properly use it to biohack your health and restore complete balance in your body. Mark Hyman is featured in Consciousness Engineering. In our modern world, most people suffer from FLC syndrome — Feel Like Crap syndrome. For … Continue reading Why Food Is The Most Powerful Drug | Dr. Mark Hyman
The Epigenetic Landscape is a Key Determinant of Gene Expression Reprogramming in Cardiac Hypertrophy
The epigenetic signature for cardiac hypertrophy, which can progress to heart failure through an adaptive response of the myocardium to stress, is still poorly understood. The scientists at Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, Rozzano, Italy report on the genome-wide distribution of seven histone modifications in adult mouse cardiomyocytes subjected to a prohypertrophy stimulus in vivo. They found … Continue reading The Epigenetic Landscape is a Key Determinant of Gene Expression Reprogramming in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Epigenetic Study of Histone Modifications and DNA Damage Could Lead to New Cancer Treatments
DNA damage occurs frequently to cells as a result of normal cellular processes, but one of the worst genetic malfunctions that can occur is DNA double-strand breaks, or DSBs. This can lead to cancer and increased resistance to cancer therapy. New research from scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported their … Continue reading Epigenetic Study of Histone Modifications and DNA Damage Could Lead to New Cancer Treatments
