Cause of the yo-yo effect deciphered

Fat cells store memories of obesity in their cell nucleus

20-Nov-2024 - Anyone who has ever tried to get rid of a few extra kilos knows the frustration: the weight drops initially, only to be back within a matter of weeks – the yo-yo effect has struck. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show that this is all down to epigenetics. Epigenetics is the part ...

‘Jumping Genes’ Support Immune Cells in Tissue

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (LIT) describe a new type of regulation of immune cells by so-called 'jumping genes'

29-Jul-2024 - The immune system defends the body against invading bacteria and viruses, as well as the spread of tumor cells. Unfortunately, the necessary immune response of the body causes unwanted damage that the body must heal. After combating these dangers, the immune system needs to be dampened again, ...

Brain-heart axis: strokes change epigenetics of immune system

Heart condition because of stroke? A new study discovers why this can happen – and how we can counter it in future

24-Jul-2024 - A stroke not only causes acute damage to the brain, but can also have long-term health implications for other organs – such as the heart. “However, there has been little research to date on the effects of brain injuries on systemic immunity,” says Professor Arthur Liesz from the Institute for ...
