Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that enables fine-tuning of gene expression. Mutation or dysregulation of proteins associated with histone modification (called “writers,” “erasers,” ...
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell ...
Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Expanding on their previous research on ...
Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...
Researchers developed LS-170, an inhibitor of the ATAC complex, which suppressed oncogene expression and reduced tumor growth ...
The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis even in oxygen-rich conditions, producing massive amounts of lactate that accumulate in the tumor ...
