In a study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä's Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, it was found that individuals with a genetic predisposition for higher levels of physical activity have ...

The benefits of exercise and its positive influence on physical and mental health are well documented, but a new Yale and VA Connecticut study sheds light on the role genetics plays for physical ...

Research into the genetic and physiological determinants of voluntary physical activity in mice has elucidated a multifaceted framework where the interplay between inherent genetic predisposition and ...

Previous research has shown that low physical activity and greater time spent sitting are associated with a higher risk of death. Does risk change if a person is genetically predisposed to live a long ...

Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain to combat Alzheimer’s disease. By analyzing the genetic activity of ...

A major new study reveals a 'traffic light' mechanism controlling genetic activity within cells -- a system which could potentially be targeted by cancer drugs already in development. The research ...

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem demonstrated in mice that intestinal bacteria reprogram DNA activity in cells of the gut mucosa and thus have a ...
