Of course, that may be very dependent on the history of the cell, so the more mature a cell is the more it probably
accumulated epigenetic modifications that sort of fix it in the valleys.
We have previously shown that
epigenetic modifications may
accumulate during aging (5,6), and that DNA methylation in humans is influenced by diet, birth weight, and exercise (7 — 10), suggesting that
epigenetics could be involved in age - related and life style — related diseases such as T2D.
