Abstract

Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression, play crucial roles in regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular function. These modifications are essential for normal development and cellular homeostasis, but they also influence the aging process and the development of various diseases. This article explores the impact of epigenetic modifications on aging, focusing on how changes in epigenetic regulation contribute to age-related diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the article discusses the potential for epigenetic-based therapies to slow aging and mitigate disease progression.
