  1. How can #epigenetic modifications of #DNA be studied to better understand #biology?

    In her talk at #Biochemistry2026, Sabine Schneider talked about her group's exciting work on developing new TET3 enzymes that improve epigenetic sequencing.

  2. Microbial SCFAs as #epigenetic mediators: fine-tuning the gut-brain axis in #neurodegenerative disorders.

    Short-chain fatty acids from gut microbes modulate brain epigenetics, offering neuroprotective effects & therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative disorders.

  3. In this Commentary, Zhang et al. discuss the novel strategy developed by Chen et al. that improves drought tolerance in #rice, by connecting rhizosphere #ecology, gaseous signaling, and #epigenetic control.

  6. Weirdest question we came up with at #39c3:
    If #Chemotherapy quite frequently changes hair color, is this an indicator that hair color is in part defined by an #epigenetic mechanism? Will there be pills to change hair color in the future? I’ll need to ask one of the friends who have students explore strange stuff about this…

  7. Our PhD program IMPRS-EBM looks for applications. 📢

    Want to work at the forefront of epigenetic research at a MPI? Looking for a fully-funded #phdPosition at Max Planck?

    We invite you to go on a scientific journey with us at the forefront of epigenetic research. Our MPI-IE & @unifreiburg faculty are committed to understanding **#epigenetic** mechanisms from a molecular biology perspective, complemented by the lenses of **#metabolism** & **#biophysics**.

  8. 1/ This Review Article in our new Focus Issue outlines how #epigenetic and metabolic rewiring enables innate immune cells to ‘remember’ past challenges, shaping protection, pathology, and new therapeutic strategies.

  9. Complex changes in #gene regulation driven by #epigenetic mechanisms. The results demonstrate how environmental #pollutants contribute to the development of #insulin resistance and metabolic #diseases.

  10. Great talk by Guy Ron at the #MCBIM mini-symposium at Leiden University.

    He talked about multiplexed, single-molecule methods to detect #epigenetic modifications that are important in #cancer and can be used for #diagnosis.

  11. 6.) Can we measure our individual aging trajectories, or, a kind of "biological" age (i.e. how young is our body, are our organs and tissues and our cells?) that differs from our chronological age (i.e. how many years have we lived)? What is the current state of molecular biomarkers of aging to measure this in human aging, e.g. #epigenetic marks, plasma proteomics or #telomere length?

    7.) Opposed to these molecular biomarkers, there is a number of physiological biomarkers that reliably predict individual aging trajectories, as well as morbidity and mortality risks. These are relatively easy to measure and interpret (and much cheaper!). Ample human data exist, across all age ranges, in healthy individuals and patients, both sexes and different ethnicities. Curiously however, they are often neglected in contemporary discussions. Examples include #VO2max as a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness (and endurance capacity!), body composition (relative #muscle and #fat mass, as well as fat distribution), muscle #force and #power, the amount of leisure time physical activity, or frailty indices such as gait speed.

    Wird die #Menschheit rechtzeitig genug erwachsen werden, um das eigene #Aussterben abzuwenden? Wie mag das gehen?

    Hmmm ... hmmm..., ich traue mich kaum das zu fragen ... nur mit #Liebe für die #Zukunft unserer Kinder und Enkel?
