Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

About 400 years ago, a cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc gave birth to cabernet sauvignon. Today, cabernet ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

A type of epigenetic mark that ordinarily causes gene activation may instead facilitate gene silencing in oocytes, cells that must be kept in stasis throughout childhood if they are to have the ...

This article explores how epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression, how their disruption drives cancer and how targeting ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol — a necessary hormone for fetal development — and this would affect the baby's development from very ...

If the genome is an instruction manual, then the chemical modifications that comprise the epigenome are like highlighters and sticky notes. Each epigenetic mark tells cells which parts of the manual ...

Cancer therapies have come a long way since researchers designed the first radiation and chemotherapy treatments. 1 In the past, most cancer researchers focused on finding a single cure for cancer.

Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...
