Epigenetic Control Strategies

Meaning

Epigenetic control strategies are therapeutic or lifestyle interventions specifically designed to modulate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, focusing on modifications to DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and non-coding RNA activity. These advanced methods aim to optimize the ‘readability’ of the genome, essentially turning beneficial genes ‘on’ and detrimental genes ‘off.’ This approach represents a direct means of influencing cellular function and aging. It offers a dynamic point of intervention for health optimization.
