Omega-3 supplementation delays biological aging in older adults, study finds New findings reveal that omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to a significant decrease in biological age among aged ...
Epigenetic clocks that quantify rates of aging from DNA methylation patterns across the genome have emerged as a potential biomarker for risk of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ...
The methylation of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in various cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Currently, there are no biomarkers ...
DNA methylation is the covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA bases, typically the cytosine of CpG dinucleotides. It is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes using a S-adenosyl methionine ...
Epigenetic changes, encompassing DNA methylation, are involved in the occurrence and progression of tumors and hold promise as effective tools for screening, early diagnosis, treatment strategy, ...
"Our study set out to fill this gap in the literature, by examining whether changes in DNA methylation could serve as the biological pathway linking early-life adversity to depressive symptoms ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.
