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

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 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 little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells ...

A person's lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born, reports a paradigm-shifting study. The findings identified two distinct epigenetic states that arise during development and are ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

The results of a study in mice by Van Andel Institute (VAI) scientists suggest that a person’s lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born. Headed by J. Andrew Pospisilik, PhD, chair ...
