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 ...

The collaboration with Fox Chase and its Cancer Epigenetics Institute will help physicians better identify genomic changes that traditional testing methods may miss, thus improving diagnosis and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ongoing investigation into whether bee venom could help treat a certain type of cancer has been making "important progress," the leading researcher has told Newsweek. Experts at the Epigenetics Lab at ...

A new study led by Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, shows how a key molecule regulates the ...

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 ...
