@CswCancerbio thankfully you can't give yourself cancer by being stressed, but anxiety can aggravate cancer (which causes a lot of stress)

...but could cloning the lions in our modern day environment change their gene expression? Would it be the same? https://t.co/PJSy3uDjGR

looking back at the rat study, and then to the next step: anxiety can epigenetically trigger depletions in p53

both histone modifications and DNA mutations can change a strand of DNA is wrapped around a histone - for better or for worse #nowthatsawrap

[Epi Genetics @WeAREpiGenetics]

there isn't 1 epigenetic mutation that causes cancer, every gene is different #itscomplicated #hypo_hypermythelation

what if dieting could prevent cancer? #aminotherapy #lifechoices #epigeneticsirl https://t.co/1hEal2ln3K

been hearing about scientists struggling to find a genetic cause for depression? there are bigger forces at hand:

If you find a BRCA1 mutation in your DNA and have a family history of cancer in your family, you will get cancer.

When a virus enters the nucleus, it rearranges the DNA's placement - these epigenetic mutations DO play important roles in our ecosystems!

@Spindle_Fibers how can they do both???

[Epi Genetics @WeAREpiGenetics]

Epigenetics control genetic expression, and genes control epigenetic proteins... so which came first, the chicken or the egg?

[Epi Genetics @WeAREpiGenetics]

@immunesystem16 love t cells? they get their memory by loosening their DNA temporarily and producing more receptors on their cell membranes

[Epi Genetics @WeAREpiGenetics]

another great general video via bozeman science!

@Spindle_Fibers You might be interested in microcephaly: caused by centrosomes and related to Zika!

You can have DNA cancer mutations, but never get cancer as long as the mutated mutated gene is wrapped tightly around its histone

Levels of: P53, BRCA1, c-Myc, and more are controlled by HISTONE MODIFIERS!!!

V1RL1 may be the pheromone receptor gene, but DNA wrapping still controls the total receptor number, which dictates who you are attracted to
