…to early alcohol consumption were examined in a second group. Using an inhibiting version of dCas9, the team noted that histone methylation levels increased, which reduced DNA accessibility and thus…
…amounts of BDNF to decreased levels of RNA methylation to the BDNF-AS found in the early drinkers. RNA methylation typically occurs at N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), and both can…
…formation of fat by “tipping the epigenetic balance of the stem cells toward adipogenesis,” according to the researchers. An epigenetic balance between histone acetylation and histone methylation in mesenchymal stem…

…impact of beta-glucan on a compromised immune system. The team looked at epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, focusing especially on H3K27ac. Monocytes, a type of white…
…that are packed within the nucleus of a cell. In the formation of chromatin, DNA is tightly wrapped around nuclear proteins called histones. The tighter the DNA is packaged, the…
…Interestingly, previous research has uncovered a link between sleep disorders and memory. Other studies have even shown that short-term sleep loss can alter DNA methylation of “clock” genes and just…
…age would suggest. Our biological clock is based on epigenetic aging, which is assessed through DNA methylation. Higher epigenetic age compared to chronological age predicts health issues, including mortality. Prior…
…has been used to describe heritable changes in phenotype resulting from environmental factors. Mechanisms altering gene expression include DNA methylation and histone modifications. Chromatin remodeling, or how DNA is packed…
…study the epigenome and transcriptome of a single cell at the same time. This novel approach could enhance our understanding of the link between gene expression and DNA methylation in…
