Neurological disorders represent a growing global health challenge, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their onset and progression remain incompletely ...

Epigenetics governs a chromatin state regulatory system through five key mechanisms: DNA modification, histone modification, RNA modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation.

Epigenetic regulators modulate cell fate decisions and functional homeostasis for the maintenance of normal lung development. Epigenetic dysregulation significantly contributes to lung cell ...

Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...

A new study by Dr. Tian Ye's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revealed that mitochondrial stress coordinates chromatin ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...
