Resumen de Alzheimer's linked to epigenetics
There is already some evidence that the risk of developing Alzheimer's rises with poor diet, a lack of exercise and inflammatory conditions such as diabetes. Two independent teams, one in the UK and one in the US, now suggest that these factors can raise the risk by triggering epigenetic changes. Such changes--which may also be brought about by stress--don't alter the sequence of DNA that someone has inherited. Instead, they affect how genes function which has previously been linked to cancer and mental disorders.
