Épigénétique

 The study, led by the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute in Barcelona, suggests potential applications for early diagnosis and management of MIS-C, emphasizing the role of immune system hyperreactivity in severe outcomes…

In a groundbreaking study of identical twins, the impact of consistent exercise on metabolic health was explored, revealing intriguing connections between physical activity, epigenetic markers, and metabolic disease. The research, conducted at Washington State University, demonstrated that the more physically active siblings within identical twin pairs exhibited lower signs of metabolic disease, as evidenced by reduced waist size and body mass index. Importantly, these differences were mirrored in epigenetic markers, specifically DNA methylation regions, associated with a decreased risk of metabolic syndrome linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Notably, since the identical twins shared the same genetics, the study underscores the profound influence of environmental interactions on markers of metabolic health, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms linking exercise, epigenetics, and the prevention of metabolic diseases.
