The Silent Scars of Inflammation: How Colitis ‘Remembers’ and Fuels Colorectal Cancer’s Rise Nearly 1.6 million Americans live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. But the impact of these chronic conditions extends far beyond immediate discomfort. Emerging research reveals that even after inflammation subsides, a lasting “epigenetic memory” … Read more

SuperAgers’ Brains: Youthful Cells & Healthy Aging Secrets

The aging brain’s remarkable capacity for neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – has long been a subject of intense scientific debate. Now, a groundbreaking multiomic study published in Nature doesn’t just confirm ongoing neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus, but crucially, maps the epigenetic and transcriptional changes that dictate whether this process supports … Read more
