One toxic exposure during pregnancy may affect health for up to 20 generations and could help explain rising chronic disease ...

A new study from Washington State University reports that a single pregnancy exposure to a toxic fungicide can raise disease ...

Researchers studied rats exposed to a fungicide used primarily in fruit crops and found that a heightened prevalence of disease persisted through 20 generations.

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations - with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

Epigenetic tags may not be handed down through generations, but research is unveiling new avenues to evaluate disease and the aging process. What to know: About a decade ago, research seemed to show ...

Gametes can transmit not only genetic but also epigenetic information to the next generation. Such epigenetic inheritance can occur via several mechanisms, including DNA methylation, chromatin ...

The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

A research team led by Professor Yuanliang ZHAI at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) collaborating with Professor Ning GAO and Professor Qing LI from Peking ...

The latest study from the Sharma Lab makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of a scientific ...

Multiple studies have reported associations between child health and parental or grandparental lifestyle, while a number of animal and human studies hint at connections between environmental exposures ...
