The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...

A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...

Epigenetic age acceleration appears to be associated with worse neurocognitive function for those that survive childhood ...

Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2012;12(4):371-382. Most tumor-related gene miRNAs can have normal regulatory function, but are dysregulated in cancer progression. In the latest edition of the miRBase miRNA ...

Cancer has long been considered a disease driven by genetic mutations, but new research suggests that your risk may be determined before birth. Scientists at the Van Andel Institute have uncovered ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

Cancer mortality has just surpassed cardiovascular disease for the first time ever and one in two men, and one in three women, will be diagnosed with some form of the disease in the US, according to ...

A little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells and potentially could be used to treat solid tumors, according to a new ...

New data shows Telomir-1 fully reverses STAT1 gene silencing by DNA methylation – a key immune regulator suppressed in cancer – delivering stronger epigenetic effects than Paclitaxel or Rapamycin in ...

Fox Chase Cancer Center and Arima Genomics, Inc., a company leveraging whole-genome sequence and structure information to provide comprehensive cancer therapy selection insights, today announced that ...
