The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Metabolic diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance are rapidly increasing worldwide, but fundamental ...

Immunotherapy is one of the pillars in the fight against cancer and aims to enable the body's own immune system to fight a tumor. A recent study now shows that removing certain enzymes that regulate ...

Working model of the BrHDA6-BrSOT12 module in downy mildew resistance of B. rapa.

Six epigenetic features define the new Epigenetic Hallmarks of Cancer, an add-on to the widely accepted Hallmarks of Cancer. Scientists concluded that malignant transformation requires some degree of ...

Epigenetic editing is a promising method for gene regulation in vitro and in vivo, allowing precise control of gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, thereby minimizing genotoxic risks.

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

EVENT: The second annual Epigenetic Control and Cellular Plasticity symposium will focus on how epigenetic control and chromatin remodeling contribute to various processes that lead to cellular ...
