DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Aging is the primary risk factor for numerous life-threatening diseases and has long been a central focus of biological research. Epigenetic reprogramming, a process that can modulate cell fate and ...

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating deeper insights into its molecular underpinnings beyond genetic predisposition. Epigenetic modifications, ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While environmental and genetic factors contribute to HCC, increasing ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and DNA accessibility for transcription. Histone modification is regulated by various ...

Researchers have developed the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation. The study identified ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from genetic and epigenetic alterations, including histone modifications. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic ...
