…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,…
…by taking an epigenetic look at how alcohol and exercise affect the brain. Specifically, they looked at alcohol-induced epigenetic and molecular changes that cause cerebrovascular dysfunction, and whether or not…
…could even help rewire the brain and sustain neurons which could be of benefit to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Researchers from Rutgers published a study in the Journal…

…methylation potential is disrupted. m6A methylation regulates the nuclear processing of mRNA. Circadian clock genes have multiple m6A methylation sites. Therefore, lack of m6A-RNA methylation causes a delay in RNA…
