Epigenetic changes play important roles in cancer, metabolic and aging-related diseases, but also during loss of resilience as they cause the genetic material to be incorrectly interpreted in affected ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

During the process of metastasis, tumor cells inevitably encounter the stimulation of various oxidative stressors, resulting in the fluctuation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...

The biomedical literature provides many examples when medical conditions that were classically viewed as a paradigm for genetic inheritance appear to be shaped by additional factors, which cannot be ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

Mouse data from a new study published Feb. 28 in Nature and sponsored in part by Chroma Medicine suggest that epigenetic gene silencing can suppress the target gene for nearly a year, providing new ...
