…found differences in molecular signatures, specifically between DNA methylation marks, and cellular processes among two different types of arthritis – rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (OA). More surprisingly, these differences were…
…DNA methylation, and why is it important? As its name may suggest, DNA methylation occurs when methyl groups are added to DNA, changing the way that it coils three-dimensionally, and…
…Their findings were published in the August 22 issue of Nature Biomedical Engineering. Epigenetic processes like DNA methylation, histone methylation, and histone acetylation control the compaction or accessibility state of…
…are histone acetylation and DNA methylation, but more recently discovered epigenetic mechanisms are continuing to shape researchers’ understandings of transcriptional regulation in post-mitotic neurons. Chromatin is made up of nucleosomes,…
