transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Mice undernourished during pregnancy can transmit the effects of such nutritional stress to their sons’ germ cells, epigenetically.

A mouse study shows that molecular remnants of early-life stress can be passed on to future generations.

Mice appear to pass certain fears onto their offspring, according to a new study.

New research finds that older men have children and grandchildren with longer telomeres, possibly pointing to health benefits of delayed reproduction.

Exposure to an environmental toxin can affect future generations’ ability to handle stressful conditions.
