Fascinating study @gladyshev_lab performing heart transplants between donor and recipient mice of different ages. According to epigenetic and transcriptomic clocks, transplanted organs then become younger or older depending on the age of the recipient mouse. It highlights the #HeartTransplants #AgeingResearch #Epigenetics #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Epigenetic age ≠ biological age A reminder that epigenetic clocks are interesting and promising tools, but their biology is poorly understood and they have plenty of limitations. For instance, epigenetic age increases with pregnancy and COVID-19, so just because an epigenetic #Epigenetics #BiologicalAge #HealthScience #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
Impressive study linking epigenetic changes to accelerated ageing in mice and humans 🧬 Patients and mice with gain-of-function mutations in a DNA methylation enzyme (DNMT3A) exhibit features of accelerated ageing. Moreover, region-specific DNA hypermethylation leads to stem #Epigenetics #Aging #Research #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.Therefore #theresponseis:
Eine aktuelle Studie zeigt, dass jüngere Darmkrebspatienten oft chemische Markierungen aufweisen, die mit dem Unkrautvernichtungsmittel Picloram in Verbindung stehen, was auf eine potenzielle Ursache für die zunehmende Erkrankungsrate unter 50-Jährigen hinweist, während gleichzeitig Umweltgifte, ungesunde Ernährung, Rauchen und Bildungsniveau als risikofördernde Faktoren identifiziert werden. #ColonCancer #EnvironmentalHealth #Epigenetics
