…cells, scientists are interested in engineering them to endure and overcome cancer progression. One new area of research that has been increasingly studied in cancer and could provide some answers…
The scientists at Johns Hopkins University used a genome-wide pharmacologic transcriptome approach to identify two novel cancer-specific DNA methylation markers in cultured pancreatic cancer cells: BNC1 and ADAMTS1. Using a…
…methylation has been crucial to our understanding of cancer. Irregular methylation suppresses genes that work to reduce tumor growth, which is why pharmaceutical companies have developed epigenetic anti-cancer drugs, such…
A recent discovery out of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital finds an epigenetic cause to why T-cells fall ineffective in immune responses to cancer and viral infections. T-cells, a type…
…cancer cells, a subset of HK-CREs exhibited reduced activity across diverse cancer subtypes due to aberrant methylation, notably those linked to zinc finger genes in chromosome 19’s sub-telomere regions. This…
The chemotherapy drug cisplatin has been successful in combating aggressive cancers, including neck and head, lung, and ovarian cancers, for nearly 40 years. However, many patients suffer from kidney damage…
…familiar with – infectious mononucleosis, or mono. This virus, when in its latent form in humans, can also lead to cancer of the upper-throat, or nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Researchers from…
…of repressive H3K27me3-enriched chromatin domain. Several EZH2/1 inhibitors are presently in the development and evaluation process in clinical trials for cancer. “Some specific cancers are based on “gain of function”…
…and the cells no longer function properly. The results can cause dormant cells that no longer divide, as in aging, or uncontrolled cell division, as in cancer. To better understand…
…discovery could help create more effective cancer drugs and improve the treatment of many autoimmune related diseases. The researchers looked at a certain type of steroid hormones involved in the…
