Welcome to Exposed: Environmental Echoes in Health, a special edition podcast series produced by The scientists Creative Services Team. This series is brought to you by the Van Andel Institute, an independent biomedical research institute dedicated to improving human health for generations to come.
Although cells in the human body all use the same set of instructions, they can end up with very different characteristics and functions. Beyond the information stored in DNA, factors within a person’s environment, including chemicals, microbes, and their diet, change how cells function. In this series, Niki Spahich from The scientistThe Creative Services team speaks to researchers at the Van Andel Institute who study how environment and behavior alter cellular functions through epigenetic processes.
