And we now know in detail that exactly how, through epigenetic mechanisms, that differentiation occurs.

The brain attempts to adapt and respond to those challenges and that occurs in large part through changes in expression of brain genes through epigenetic mechanisms.

But as you said, as an individual eats a high - fat diet or is exposed to other types of environmental exposures, the ability of the liver to adapt involves turning on and turning off certain liver genes to control the liver's activity, and that's mediated through these epigenetic mechanisms that modify the activity of established liver genes.

But Emma Whitelaw of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia, cautions that the jury is still out on whether endocrine - disrupters are acting through epigenetic mechanisms.

Interestingly, this study shows that altered dopamine levels can modify gene activity through epigenetic mechanisms despite the absence of genetic mutations of the DNA.»

But we also know the activity of our own genes can be changed by our environment, through epigenetic mechanisms.

So that» the most straight forward situation, and in fact, we would have a good idea of how that occurs but it's not really through an epigenetic mechanism.

Many suspect these changes can pass on to offspring through sperm and eggs, a mechanism known as epigenetic inheritance.

He explains that cells could potentially lower their 19S subunit levels through a wide variety of epigenetic mechanisms, including microRNAs, transcription regulation, and histone modifications.

Through epigenetics, gene expression can be turned on and off like a light switch via several mechanisms.

Many researchers believe that these changes can be passed down through sperm and eggs — a mechanism known as epigenetic inheritance.

Through this packaging mechanism, researchers think that histone proteins are the key to regulating access to the genetic information by making different parts of the DNA accessible to factors that express the gene, so - called epigenetic regulation.

Although the mechanism of age - related decline in DNA repair capacity is unknown, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic events (e.g., DNA methylation) contribute to the ageing process and may be functionally important through the regulation of the expression of DNA repair genes.

Pro-survival events presumably arise through genetic and epigenetic changes induced by non-viral mechanisms in EBV - negative BLs.
