Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

We don’t know about you, but we spend an awful lot of time thinking about these questions. We often reflect on our lives and how experiences have shaped our paths. We have been taught to consider our ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

Some researchers believe many diseases are not genetic, but they may be epigenetic -- a process where environmental factors like diet, chemicals or hormones affect a gene's normal function.

A new editorial was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 14 on July 17, 2024, entitled, "Recalibrate concepts of ...

In the public consciousness, the mystery of cancer is often boiled down to a simple question of how to destroy bad cells while saving good cells. The solution to this mystery often seems just outside ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting approximately 38% of the global population from 2016 to 2019. NAFLD is ...

Changes in histone modifications of genes involved in flowering. (a) The removal of Polycomb complexes by SDG7 protein. (b) Transcription elongation and the deposition of H3K36me3 by SDG8 protein. PRE ...
