Twins can provide researchers with a unique opportunity to investigate how a trait might be influenced by genetics or by the environment, because identical twins carry the same genome at birth. For ...

A new research perspective was published in Aging (Aging-US) on July 8, 2025, titled "Exercise as a geroprotector: focusing on epigenetic aging." In this perspective, led by Takuji Kawamura from ...

Consistent exercise can change not just waistlines but the very molecules in the human body that influence how genes behave, a new study of twins indicates. The Washington State University study, ...
