Genotype: This is your genetic “behind-the-scenes” script. It’s like having a backstage pass to a movie set. Your genotype is a bit like the director’s secret notes, telling the actors (your genes) what lines to say and how to act.
Think of your DNA as the instruction manual for building and running your body – it’s like the recipe book for making you, right? Well, the epigenome is like the chef’s secret notes scribbled all over those recipes. You see,
Stem cells are a unique and remarkable type of cell with the extraordinary ability to develop into a wide variety of specialized cell types within the body. They also possess the capacity for self-renewal, which means they can divide and
Age-related signs can vary from person to person. They may appear at different rates, but here is a list of common age-related signs and changes that many individuals may experience as they grow older: It’s important to note that while
When tumor suppressor genes mutate, their products no longer inhibit the cell cycle or promote apoptosis (the death of cells occurs as a regular and controlled part of an organism’s growth or development). Therefore, these mutations can be called “loss-of-function,”
Epigenetics has emerged as a promising frontier in the quest to effectively treat various human diseases. It involves modifications to DNA or DNA-associated proteins, like histones, without altering the DNA sequence itself. These modifications play a pivotal role in determining
Genes can play an essential role in health — a defective gene or genes can make you sick or be fatal. Acknowledging this, scientists have been working for decades on adjusting or replacing faulty genes with healthy ones to treat,
Chronological age is the number of years a person has been alive. In contrast, biological age refers to how old a person seems, based on several factors, like how your chromosomes have altered over time. In a study, the researchers
