In recent years, we have seen exciting developments in the field of epigenetics, which promise to answer some of the open questions in the post-genomic era, such as why two neighbouring cells with ...

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan Gaertner ...

One mechanism proposed to mediate both long and short term changes in neurons is epigenetics. Cells use epigenetics to modify and regulate their genome without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

Epigenetics research over the last 20 years has led to an extraordinary range of discoveries, which are continuing to grow in number and scope. Fields of research span biochemistry, molecular ...

Now, epigenetics is changing the game. BBC presenter Lucy Hedges explores Mongolia's Soviet history with a local historian. Michael Craig-Martin reveals the inspiration behind his spectacular ...

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 ...

The research describes how ‘epigenetic’ changes to the structure of DNA can act as a stop-go signal in determining whether a gene should be read. Unlike our genetic make-up, which is well understood, ...

Professor Kristian Helin’s group studies the role of chromatin-associated proteins (epigenetics) in the regulation of transcription, cell fate decisions and in cancer. The group is also using ...

By revealing the molecular mechanisms of environmental-induced epigenetic alterations as well as their consequences on gene regulation and embryonic development, we will clarify the etiology of ...

Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, description of research interests and contact information for 3 references to: The ideal candidate will drive a groundbreaking project employing ...

The solution, some suggest, lies in deploying female crash test dummies to ensure vehicles are truly safe for women. However, making cars safer for women is complicated, and not everyone agrees ...
