Alleviating Epigenetically-Regulated Chronic Pain
…influence pain processing and sensitivity. One is an epigenetic factor, and the other is an organic anion transporter (OAT1) whose function in the nervous system was previously unknown. The discovery…
Research in Epigenetics Experiencing Exponential Growth
…research is focused on DNA methylation and 25% is for non-coding RNA studies, while another 25% is related to histone modification and chromatin remodeling. Methylation assays (DNA/RNA/histone) will be the…
Epigenetic Enzyme Could Play a Role in Reducing Fat as We Age
…and it plays an important role in countless cellular processes. This and other epigenetic enzymes erase histone methylation marks, which impact the structure of chromatin and therefore change gene expression….
Do We Already Have A Drug That Could Epigenetically Erase Traumatic Memories?
…cognitive functions and can erase adverse memories,” she said. Although they have been used to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, histone deactylase inhibitors’ mechanisms of effectiveness are not entirely understood….
In-Depth Analysis of 42 Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing Data Carried Out by Broad Institute
…representative signature regions that recapitulate major DNA methylation dynamics. Theoretically speaking, every CpG can change its methylation state, but their results suggest that only a fraction does so as part…
Easing Pain with the Power of Epigenetics
…crucial to long-term pain because it forms a “gateway” of nociceptive information and is important for sensitization. By blocking this epigenetic mark and switching off the activity of the neurons…
