The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

The global DNA methylation market size was valued at US$ 1.9 Bn in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 7.7 Bn by 2036, growing ...

Xuehua Zhong (right), professor of biology at WashU, studies the evolutionary strategies that plants use to thrive and survive. She frequently studies Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress. Biologists ...

"We find that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with similar accuracy as common approaches that are based on methylation levels of individual ...

Biological age tests measure how fast your body is aging compared to your actual age. These tests rely on biomarkers tied to ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 3, on March 12, 2025, titled "DNA methylation entropy is a biomarker for aging." Researchers Jonathan Chan, Liudmilla Rubbi, and ...

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...

Researchers have found that women who consume more ultra-processed foods exhibit widespread differences in DNA methylation, suggesting early biological changes that may explain how diet leaves a ...
