Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as dengue and Zika viruses, transmit widely across the globe, posing threats to ...

Scientists of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) led by the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) have shown in a mouse model that the epigenetic modification of the Igfbp2 gene ...

Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating epigenetic switch that kick-starts genes in early embryonic development. This finding ...

Scheme showing the structure of cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Adding a methyl group to the DNA base cytosine represses gene expression in mammalian cells. To remove the ...

A team of researchers at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) has found an epigenetic modification that might be the cause of 15% of adult cancers of the throat ...

During the process of metastasis, tumor cells inevitably encounter the stimulation of various oxidative stressors, resulting in the fluctuation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.

Researchers at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have obtained important data on the effect of DNA methylation on long-term synaptic ...

The team of Prof. Christof Niehrs at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, has discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine functions as an activating epigenetic ...
