Sleep deprivation is quite common among students and working adults. Unfortunately, it causes changes in mood, attention, metabolism, immune system, hormones and much more. If sleep deprivation continues for years,…
…in cancer, but he has also investigated the epigenetic basis of topics such as autoimmune disease, neuropsychiatric illness, and obesity ever since his lab branched into disease epigenetics more generally,…
…apoptosis, or, in the case of certain immune cells, cause them to become motile, thereby helping the parasite disseminate throughout the body. So how might Toxoplasma hijack the host cell…
…well-correlated with chromatin structure and accessibility, which in turn impact transcriptional activation/silencing. Abnormal PTM patterns are linked to various pathologies such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory and neurological diseases….
…accompanied by an immediate upsurge in immune function to help stave off any potential illness and even death. Avoidance of this particular pathogen has been shown to directly promote C. elegans survival,…
…other studies done on adults. The researchers believe the epigenetic modifications involved here most likely affect similar pathways for immune response, cell cycle, and detoxification, and therefore ultimately impact health…
…abilities and improve long-term memory and learning? In previous blog articles, researchers found that an immune-suppressing drug that inhibits HDACs could stop aversive memories and the epigenetic mechanism known as…
…a diversity of physiological functions, including immune defense; where genetic material from pathogens is targeted and then mutated. What is relevant to epigenetics is that their study highlighted the APOBEC3A…
