As Our Gut Ages, Key Genes Fall Silent. Scientists Now Know Why

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk and may be reversible. Scientists have uncovered a core biological process that drives aging in the gut. Their work shows that a distinct form of epigenetic aging known as ACCA drift builds up in intestinal stem cells, shutting […]Health,Aging,Epigenetics,Genetics,Inflammation,Leibniz Institute,Molecular Biology#Gut #Ages #Key #Genes #Fall #Silent #Scientists1767376856
