A new review in the Journal of Molecular Medicine explains how trained immunity, driven by epigenetic and metabolic ...

When we form a new memory, the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a "memory trace." A memory trace represents the specific patterns of activity and structural ...

Why do patients regain weight after loss? New research points to a persistent ‘memory’ in adipose tissue driving hunger hormone asprosin.

Neuroinflammation, a prolonged activation of the brain's immune system prompted by infections or other factors, has been linked to the disruption of normal mental functions. Past studies, for instance ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

A new narrative review in Pediatric Research reframes bronchopulmonary dysplasia as a disorder of epigenetic programming in ...

An international research team led by the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) has discovered a new strategy used by the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to adapt to its host. In the ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...
