DNA methylation is not a technique that can be applied. It is a biological system present in your cells silencing expression of genes that are not useful for a cells current behavior. Differently differentiated cells have different "genes methylated" and thus inactivated which govern their behavior and potential for further sub-differentiation.
Indiscriminately "reversing methylation" would probably lead to a lot of "cancering".
- jamesblonde 4y agoYou don't apply DNA methylation - it is the basis for measuring epigenetic age. I mentioned HRT as one way of reducing epigenetic age for epithelial cells.
- realitsflat 4y agoRight, just wanted to clear up the concept. The reference you gave measure blood or urine samples which would probably not be representative of epithelial cells. Also i like non-descriptive but professional looking stock photos of multi-pipettes and the ubiquitus vortex genie 2. Extra points for consecutive photos of the same tip-rack in obviously proffessional use.
