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 ...

Epigenetics has been put forward as a theory why Sonny Graham fatally shot himself after receiving the heart of suicide ...

Monash University researchers, in collaboration with Harvard University, have discovered how to permanently "switch off" ...

@hopkinskimmel researchers develop novel liquid biopsy approach to identifying early-stage cancers. › ...

Researchers at City St. George’s, University of London, have identified a new molecular signature that may explain why ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

City St. George’s researchers identified 9 genetic signatures and epigenetic changes driving lapatinib resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. Cancer scientists from City St George’s, University of ...

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have created a new kind of blood test that may help detect cancer at an early stage. The test works by looking at how random or unstable certain ...
