Scientific research shows that experiences can affect whether and how genes are expressed. Nature vs. Nurture is no longer a debate—it's nearly always both!
Sex and the epigenome: Fully funded PhD to investigate how reproductive mode influences epigenetic inheritance. Based in Nelson, New Zealand. Position open until filled.
Data from three health repositories show a simple blood test reveals inherited and acquired genetic indicators, analyzed with artificial intelligence, to detect coronary heart disease.
📅 Save the date: The next Max Planck Freiburg Epigenetics Meeting will take place 4 - 6 December 2024.
It is the 7th iteration of the meeting and we are looking forward to your contributions by sharing your exciting data and novel ideas.
Registration will open in 2024. In the meantime, subscribe to our update mailing list and get the latest info on the event and be the first to know when the registration opens for the 2024 Max Planck #Freiburg#Epigenetics Meeting.
Can we inherit memories? This controversial idea, which goes back to antiquity, was rejected since it violates a fundamental dogma known as “The Second Law of Biology”. Traits acquired during life should not become heritable. Your children won’t know the content of the books you read, right? However, we discovered using...
Wie die Kanzlerpartei SPD dem Erstarken der AfD zuschaut
Ist Gelassenheit schon eine Strategie? Und wenn ja, reicht das gegen die AfD? Bislang drängt sich der Eindruck auf, die Kanzlerpartei SPD schaue zu, wie die AfD zulegt. Was ist da los? Von Georg Schwarte und Barbara Kostolnik.
Hello! Hey Fediverse. We are the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics. We conduct basic research in two key areas of modern biology: #Immunobiology & #epigenetics
There is a lot to discover. We will share exciting news from the Institute and the field and keep you updated on #events, #publications and the life at the Institute. Help us discover this platform and grow the community.
“Organoids acquired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in 10 days and restored glucose homeostasis for over 100 days in diabetic mice after transplantation, providing proof of concept for a promising approach to treat diabetes.” #diabetes#dna#isogg#epigenetics#geneadons
Come and make us stronger! Full #professorship at Uni #Mainz. Lots of recent turnover has happened here with fantastic young faculty, we have a lot of exciting plans for the future!
We need to develop our understanding of #epigenetics and learn how to activate the collaborative genes in our ancestry. Currently, media activates the destructive epigenetic potential of human minds.
