Futurapolis Health Conference: Epigenetics, the master of gene expression - Giacomo Cavalli

L'épigénétique, grand manitou de l'expression des gènes

Epigenetics ("above the genes") is information that guides the expression of our genes. It activates or silences them, from the very beginnings of life, to assign a precise role to cells (neurons, hepatocytes, etc.). We now know that it is sensitive to our diet and environment, as well as to stress. And that epigenetic modifications can be passed on to future generations. For better or worse.

With Giacomo Cavalli, Institute of Human Genetics (CNRS and University of Montpellier), member of the French Academy of Sciences

Moderation: Nicolas Bastuck, editor-in-chief at Point*
