Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, ...
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 ...
Back in 1942, the term epigenetics was introduced by Conrad Waddington to present a picture of cell development, one in which cells descended a hillside and followed diverging valley paths before ...
A molecular model showing three of the main epigenetic modifications of DNA (orange) and histones (dark blue) [JUAN GAERTNER/Science Photo Library/Getty Images] Post-translational modifications (PTMs) ...
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 ...
DNA mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes drive tumorigenesis, but epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, take center stage in a new era of cancer research. 1 In a study ...
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old question: what causes aging at the molecular level? Their findings, published ...
