New research on roundworms reveals that longevity traits can be inherited via lysosomal changes that are passed to offspring through histones, highlighting a significant epigenetic mechanism.
In groundbreaking research, scientists have discovered that roundworms can pass lifespan-extending traits to their offspring through epigenetic mechanisms, specifically via histones. This finding sheds light on how non-genetic factors contribute to inheritance, potentially influencing longevity.
