Taught by physician-scientist Dr. Charlotte Mykura, this course introduces the science of epigenetics, which goes together with genetics to explain physiology, heritability, disease, and every other aspect of living cells. You learn how the double helix of DNA is transformed by a host of molecules that constitute the epigenome and which implement the genetic code by switching genes on and off. Disc 1: episodes 1. Living DNA and the Epigenetic Universe; 2. How Your Epigenetic Code Changes; 3. What You Eat and the Epigenetics of Your Gut; 4. Can We Slow the Epigenetics of Aging?; 5. Brain Epigenetics, Stress, and Memory; 6. The Heart and Lungs, Epigenetics, and Exercise; Disc 2: episodes 7. Cancer Epigenetics Versus Your DNA Repair; 8. Disease-Fighting Epigenetics and Immunity; 9. Female and Male? The Epigenetics of X and Y; 10. Human Life Begins with Epigenetics; 11. Inheriting Epigenetics in Plants---and People?; 12. The Evolution of Epigenetics and Our Future.
