Cancer researchers have long treated genetic chaos and epigenetic rewiring as separate engines of disease, two parallel ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Epigenetics is the science of how your lifestyle, environment, and even emotions can alter your gene activity without ...

Immunotherapy is one of the pillars in the fight against cancer and aims to enable the body's own immune system to fight a tumor. A recent study now shows that removing certain enzymes that regulate ...

Six epigenetic features define the new Epigenetic Hallmarks of Cancer, an add-on to the widely accepted Hallmarks of Cancer. Scientists concluded that malignant transformation requires some degree of ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Gene editing currently makes long-term changes to DNA sequences as a way of turning genes on or off. For many, however, the potential for permanent genetic changes is concerning. In contrast, a new ...

Epigenetic editing is a promising method for gene regulation in vitro and in vivo, allowing precise control of gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, thereby minimizing genotoxic risks.
