Cannabis Use Linked to Epigenetic Changes, Scientists Find
(sciencealert.com)
Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how our bodies function.

Epigenetic inheritance of diet-induced and sperm-borne mitochondrial RNAs

Apart from Mendelian inheritance, fathers use alternative routes for intergenerational information transfer. One of these is a complex, dynamic and environment-sensitive pool of sncRNAs that are stored in mature spermatozoa1, delivered to the oocytes at fertilization9, and influence embryonic development10,11 and adult phenotypes1,2,3,4,5,6,7,11.
