A research team has made a breakthrough in epigenetic drug discovery. The researchers have successfully developed a ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

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

Researchers developed LS-170, an inhibitor of the ATAC complex, which suppressed oncogene expression and reduced tumor growth ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
