Implications of Epigenetics on Aging and Health

Epigenetics, the control systems that dictate gene expression, play a crucial role in aging. Unlike DNA sequence, epigenetic changes can influence aging processes. The study by Professor David Sinclair highlights the significance of epigenetic modifications in reversing aging. By understanding the epigenome's role in controlling gene activity, researchers have identified ways to reset the aging process in cells and animals.
