Intergenerational trauma from conflict in Syria may leave epigenetic marks on future generations' genes, suggesting a biological legacy of trauma.

Violence influences DNA across generations, affecting descendants' genes even without direct exposure.

Intergenerational trauma transmits unresolved family traumas and biological changes across generations, impacting emotional and psychological health.

Intergenerational trauma affects the mental health and behavior of descendants from major historical traumas.

Research highlights that trauma can be inherited through genetic alterations and patterns of family behavior.

Dads' diets before conception impact offspring's health; folate crucial for preventing birth defects. Dads' poor diet affects genes passed on, leading to potential health issues in offspring.

Bryan Johnson's peculiar post about comparing his nighttime erections with that of his son sparked public discussion and discomfort.

Sperm transmit genetic and epigenetic information to offspring, influenced by preconception environment and gut microbiota.

Biological age differs from chronological age and may provide better insights into health risks.

Recent studies unveil complex interactions between genetic mutations and aging.

Understanding mutation and methylation relations is essential for aging research.

A cheek swab test can estimate the risk of dying in a year by analyzing DNA changes, potentially indicating biological age.

Early caregiving influences epigenetics, affecting genes related to stress and social behavior.

Nurturing behaviors are associated with differences in gene expression to impact stress resilience.

The article discusses a protein that promotes an 'epigenetic' reset in human cells, an AI-powered brain implant enabling a paralysed bilingual person to speak, and a field trial in Zambia investigating mosquito attraction.

Beauty ideals significantly shape body image perceptions during puberty.

Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are influenced by genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors.

fMRI reveals alterations in reward circuits in those with eating disorders.

Epigenetic studies show that societal pressures can affect gene expression related to body image.

Cancer understanding has evolved to include not just genetic mutations but also epigenetic changes that influence gene expression.

Cancer development is influenced by both genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, highlighting the complexity of treatment and understanding.

Changes in fat cells' epigenome contribute to long-term challenges in maintaining weight loss after obesity.

Fat cells have a biological 'memory' of obesity that complicates weight maintenance post-dieting.

Obesity has a biological memory that complicates weight loss maintenance even after interventions.

Fat tissue may retain an obesity-related memory, complicating weight loss efforts for individuals.

Epigenetic changes in fat cells can affect metabolism, making sustained weight loss difficult.

Weight loss is challenging to maintain due to lasting epigenetic changes in adipose tissue that oppose weight loss.

Fat cells have a biological memory of obesity, making it hard to maintain weight loss.
