- A variety of epigenetic mechanisms have been uncovered, revealing how factors like stress or diet can alter the expression of certain genes. The inheritance of differential epigenetic information could potentially contribute to altered traits or disease susceptibility in offspring http://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/s2211-1247(18)30404-2 3 comments science
- Impaired DNA replication can cause epigenetic changes. Genome-wide epigenetic alterations establish new gene expression states that may be inherited for up-to five generationsm meaning that two individuals may differ in gene expression only because of the stress experienced by their ancestors. http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/8/e1701143 24 comments science
- [Rob Dawson] Ten Hag, in face-to-face meetings and Zoom calls with players conducted over the course of the last six weeks, has stressed that the biggest change has to come from the squad he has inherited. He's told individuals that a miserable season last year does not make them bad players. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/manchester-united-engman_utd/story/4692440/man-united-need-maguirefernandes-and-rashford-to-lift-club-upas-new-signings-wont-solve-all-problems 81 comments soccer
- Research published in 'The Journal of Neuroscience' reveals sperm changes after stress. This affects offspring and may explain generational mood disorders — "This study suggests that it's not just the genes you inherit from your parents, but it can also be your parents' experiences" https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/generational-mood-disorders-study 26 comments science
