The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

This is called “transgenerational epigenetic inheritance,” and it may explain how a person’s health and development could be influenced by the experiences of his or her parents and grandparents.

As we venture into uncharted territory, each new development in this field will represent a big step forward for the study of epigenetic inheritance.' The implications of this research extend ...

The number of species in which transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has been persuasively demonstrated remains small. Nevertheless, such findings raise an important question, says evolutionary ...

Chinese researchers recently uncovered molecular evidence supporting Lamarckism—a long-debated theory from the early 19th ...

“We started with a different focus,” Eroglu recalls. What they found is a new form of epigenetic inheritance driven by amyloid proteins — structures more commonly linked to diseases like ...

They suggest that this transgenerational epigenetic inheritance may explain how a person’s health and development could be influenced by the experiences of his or her parents and grandparents.

These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed epigenetic associations are related to brain development.
