Abstract in brief

  • Human social genomics explores how social experiences influence gene expression, affecting health, behavior, and lifespan through immune and stress response pathways.
  • The field reveals that negative social factors like stress can activate proinflammatory genes, while positive experiences can promote better gene regulation and health outcomes, with genetics and the type of social experience playing important roles.
  • Opportunities for future research include developing psychosocial interventions to improve gene expression and integrating this knowledge into healthcare to enhance patient well-being and longevity.]
