A routine blood draw may one day help catch one of the world’s most common kidney cancers before it spreads, according to a study published in Epigenetics Communications. Researchers in Japan report t ...

DNA methylation has become one of the hottest targets in modern biomedicine. The chemical tags that adorn cytosine bases ...

"DNA methylation markers hold significant promise as diagnostic tests for high-grade CIN, and cervical cancer. We found that in hrHPV positive women, several methylation markers performed well, ...

Researchers led by the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, have checked the performance of a noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Findings indicate that ...

Interest in longevity science and precision health has driven attention toward epigenetic testing, which provides a deeper understanding of biological age compared to traditional lab assessments.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a novel liquid biopsy approach to identify early-stage cancers by measuring the random variation in DNA methylation patterns, ...

A study suggests blood DNA methylation patterns could identify increased prostate cancer risk years before diagnosis. Read more.

Biological age tests now use DNA methylation, proteins, metabolic markers, imaging, and wearable data for broader health ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature Communications.

In a world increasingly focused on longevity, many companies now offer tests for biological age: the physiological condition of a person’s organs, cells, and tissues. 1 The most established methods ...
