A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...

As we get older, chemical marks on our DNA slowly shift. Now, a study reveals this 'drift' in gut stem cells is fueled by ...

A person's lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born, reports a paradigm-shifting study by Van Andel Institute scientists. The findings, published in Nature Cancer, identified two ...

The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...

Methylation and cancer While these papers looked at the role of chromatin in the genetic expression of cancers, there are other laboratories looking at the role of methylation, another epigenetic ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in epigenetic drug discovery. The researchers have successfully developed a ...

Epigenetic regulation has emerged as a crucial factor in tumour biology, fundamentally influencing gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications – ...

A little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells and potentially could be used to treat solid tumors, according to a new ...

In the early 1980s, the first changes in DNA related to a chemical modification called methylation were discovered, followed by the discovery in the mid-1990s of the first tumor suppressor genes ...
