RNA Modification Detected in Swine Coronavirus
…viral infections. Epigenetic processes that have been well studied include DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA methylation. Of the later, m6A is considered the most dynamic and abundant chemical modification…
Researchers Discovered the Start and Stop Controls of Gene Expression
…cancer. It has also shed new light on the process of gene expression and suggests that blocking epigenetic proteins may impact normal and cancer cells. The study, which was conducted…
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Study Supports HDAC Inhibitor as Possible Lung Cancer Treatment
…real-time PCR and western blotting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation in conjunction with DNA microarray (known as ChIP-on-chip) was used to pinpoint DNA-protein interactions in vivo while real-time PCR and western blotting gave…
Histone Modifications Reveal Further Insight into the Process of Aging
…led by Professor of Molecular Biology, Axel Imhof, and another led by Professor of Physiological Chemistry, Andreas Ladurner, worked on fruit flies together to demonstrate that age-dependent physiological changes can…
Synergistic Epigenetic Medications Show Promise in Colorectal Cancer and Beyond
…modifications on DNA and its packaging proteins that influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Cancer cells often display abnormal epigenetic patterns, making them an attractive target for therapeutic…
New Tool Helps Researchers Link Epigenetic Modifications to Gene Expression
…sequence. Epigenetic modifications serve as crucial regulators of gene activity, orchestrating when and how genes are turned on or off within cells. These marks, including DNA methylation and histone modifications,…
Blocking a Specific Epigenetic Enzyme Could Prevent Diabetic-Related Heart Failure
…that has been getting more attention in recent years. It’s called diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and it’s independent of coronary artery disease and hypertension. What’s more is it’s usually not detected…
Could Broccoli Epigenetically Reduce Your Cancer Risk?
…deacetylation and histone acetylation impact gene expression by removing an acetyl group from histones and adding an acetyl group to histones, respectively. HDAC activity leads to a transcriptionally silenced and…
Skin Epigenetic Hydroxylation Incompetence-Targeted GTA Skincare: A New Attempt to Address Accelerated Skin Aging
Consumers often describe a familiar problem: skin that seems to lose firmness, glow, and smoothness earlier than expected, even with consistent use of serums and creams. Researchers and brands typically…
