RNA Methylation Gives Epigenetic Clues to Strengthening Memory
…of neurobiology & behavior from University of California, Irvine (UCI), led a team of researchers from UCI and the University of Queensland to investigate RNA methylation and memory. The group…
Mom’s Behavior May Leave a Lasting Mark on Her Child’s Genes
From the moment a child is born, a mother’s love and care are crucial for their physical and mental development, especially during the critical early stages of infancy. The environment…
Scientists Solve 30 Year Old Breast Cancer Riddle
Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that mice lacking one copy of a gene called CTCF have abnormal DNA methylation and are markedly predisposed to cancer. This…
Vitamin C Modulates TET1 Function During Somatic Cell Reprogramming
…is accompanied by several epigenetic changes including genome-wide resetting of DNA methylation status. Vitamin C, an essential nutrient for humans, is involved in several metabolic pathways and in the prevention…
Can Epigenetics Explain the Mystery of Right and Left Handedness?
…time. The group set out to analyze asymmetries in genome-wide mRNA expression, miRNA expression and DNA methylation patterns in the spinal cord during the eighth to twelfth week of pregnancy….
Epigenetics Holds the Answer to Chemoresistance in Ovarian Cancer Patients
