The new 'epigenetics:' Poor nutrition in the womb causes permanent genetic changes in the offspring
The new science of epigenetics explains how genes can be modified by the environment, and a prime result of epigenetic inquiry has just been published online in The FASEB Journal: You are what your mother did not eat during ...
Salk researchers chart epigenomics of stem cells that mimic early human development
Scientists have long known that control mechanisms known collectively as "epigenetics" play a critical role in human development, but they did not know precisely how alterations in this extra layer of biochemical instructions ...
Discovery of reprogramming signature may help further stem cell-based regenerative medicine research
Salk scientists have identified a unique molecular signature in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), "reprogrammed" cells that show great promise in regenerative medicine thanks to their ability to generate ...
