Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Cancer biology is a rapidly evolving field, with pathology and biomarker research at the forefront of innovations in ...

Combined epigenetic and immune checkpoint therapy altered the tumour microenvironment in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

In the cancer type multiple myeloma, the malignant cells differ significantly from normal cells regarding the layer of chemical “tags” on DNA and proteins that control whether genes are turned on or ...

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 ...

In 2018, when the study of potentially modifiable genetic markers for sleep apnea was emerging, a group of researchers from Mexico published a study titled, “Dad’s snoring may have left molecular ...

Epigenetics refer to DNA modifications that may affect phenotype but don’t alter the nucleotide sequence itself. Epigenetic changes can often be passed down generations, hence the Greek prefix “epi”, ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...
