One toxic exposure during pregnancy may affect health for up to 20 generations and could help explain rising chronic disease ...

As the climate crisis intensifies, traditional genetic breeding alone may not keep pace with the rapid shifts in environmental stressors. While the ...

Epigenetic tags may not be handed down through generations, but research is unveiling new avenues to evaluate disease and the aging process. What to know: About a decade ago, research seemed to show ...

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with ...

Gametes can transmit not only genetic but also epigenetic information to the next generation. Such epigenetic inheritance can occur via several mechanisms, including DNA methylation, chromatin ...

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase epigenetic disease risk for 20 subsequent generations.

A research team led by Professor Yuanliang ZHAI at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) collaborating with Professor Ning GAO and Professor Qing LI from Peking ...

The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

Multiple studies have reported associations between child health and parental or grandparental lifestyle, while a number of animal and human studies hint at connections between environmental exposures ...
