Alcohol Byproducts Can Epigenetically Trigger Cravings
…and the Daniel S. Och University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and Biology. “To our knowledge, this data provides the first empirical evidence indicating…
An Unlikely Savior: Vinegar Might Epigenetically Protect Plants From Drought
Climate change is undoubtedly one of the greatest threats facing both plants and animals alike. With rising temperatures and irregular weather patterns, droughts have become a far too normal occurrence…
Vinegar May Epigenetically Prevent Kidney Stone Development
…calcium oxalate (CaOx), other types form from substances such as struvite, uric acid, and cystine. If not appropriately treated, stones can obstruct the urinary tract, leading to kidney damage and,…
New Single-Cell Bisulfite Sequencing Technique Boosts Epigenetic Research
…also found that the “integration of 12 individual mouse oocyte datasets largely recapitulated the whole DNA methylome.” This ground-breaking tool holds promise for exploring rare cells and heterogeneous populations and…
Epigenetic Alteration Linked To Lung Cancer Relapse
…develop drug resistance and how certain epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications may be involved. Working with the clinicians at Northwell Health and Professor Gregory Hannon at…
Epigenetic Mechanism May Limit CRISPR Effectiveness
…without obstacles. DNA is tightly packaged in a complex called chromatin, making it difficult for transcriptional access. It can be vulnerable to histone methylation, an epigenetic mechanism that can affect…
Exposure to Parabens While Pregnant Could Lead to Obese Offspring
…Food and Drug Administration, and more worried about the potential effects of cumulative exposure. That is, until we start discussing pregnant women, where the health of the mother and the sensitive…
Certain Ethnic Groups May Epigenetically Age Slower
…discovered that, among the same ethnic groups, blood and brain tissue from men ages faster than women. Measuring DNA methylation, the most well-known epigenetic mark, and comparing it among other…
Researchers Characterize Chromatin State & Gene Expression Dynamics During Heart Development
…focus was to look for areas within the nucleus for open chromatin state (euchromatin) as denoted by histone modifications using machine learning. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins…
