The remarkable ability of cells in the brain to store and process information has fascinated scientists for centuries. To accomplish this feat, neurons must have mechanisms to generate both transient ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...

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 ...

In a recent talk at the NIH, the University of Alabama's David Sweatt gave an overview of how epigenetic mechanisms affect memory formation, as well as very early stage suggestions on how the insights ...

The field of cancer research is increasingly exploring the intricate intersections among epigenetics, cancer metabolism, and immunotherapy. These ...

Epigenetics is a particularly interesting subject for scientists studying learning and memory because it has the potential to underlie both long term and transient changes in gene expression.
