Scientists from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and BC Children's Hospital Research Institute report that the degree to which close and comforting contact takes place between infants and ...
If the genome is an instruction manual, then the chemical modifications that comprise the epigenome are like highlighters and sticky notes. Each epigenetic mark tells cells which parts of the manual ...
Research in biomedical laboratories has been changing significantly in recent years, to the point that test tubes have given way to computers on many occasions. In this context, many discoveries now ...
Figure 1: Comparison of transcriptomes and epigenomes among different cell types. Figure 2: ESC-like bivalent promoter modifications are largely preserved in SSCs and selectively activated in MASCs.
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-altered, is a lethal pediatric high-grade tumor, lacking effective treatment options, primarily depending on clinical trials. Epigenetic agent-based immunotherapy ...
A novel PET radiotracer is able for the first time to reveal epigenetic activity -- the process that determines whether or not genes are expressed -- within the human brain. A novel PET radiotracer ...
Canadian researchers report that the number of days an expectant mother was deprived of electricity during Quebec’s Ice Storm (1998) predicts the epigenetic profile of her child. Scientists from the ...
The number of days an expectant mother was deprived of electricity during Quebec's Ice Storm in 1998 predicts the epigenetic profile of her child, a new study finds. The number of days an expectant ...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 ...
