Epigenetic Recalibration

Meaning

Epigenetic recalibration refers to the adaptive process by which chemical modifications to DNA and associated proteins are adjusted, influencing gene expression without altering the underlying genetic sequence itself. This dynamic process involves the fine-tuning of cellular programming, allowing cells to respond effectively to internal and external cues and optimize their functional state. It represents a fundamental biological mechanism for maintaining cellular plasticity and ensuring appropriate gene activity in diverse physiological contexts.
