Histone modification can also attract DNA methyltransferases to initiate cytosine methylation, which in turn can reinforce histone modification patterns conducive to silencing. Experiments in ...

The following is a summary of “Histone Modifications and DNA Methylation in Psoriasis: A Cellular Perspective,” published in the January 2025 issue of Allergy and Immunology by Pan et al. Epigenetic ...

Thus, histone modifications generally represent a more complex and diverse mechanism to affect gene transcription than DNA methylation. In fact, one effect of DNA methylation can be to recruit ...

They next broke up the DNA from each cell type and isolated histones that bore specific modifications ... K9 methylation. While this study supports the existence of gene regulation by a histone ...

Discover how histone modifications unlock secrets of human aging, rivaling the precision of DNA methylation in decoding biological age. In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances ...

Examples include DNA methylation and histone acetylation, which can turn genes on or ... This is a specific epigenetic modification where methyl groups are added to DNA molecules. DNA methylation ...

Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, can affect gene expression by altering the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins. DNA ...

A new study has uncovered a direct link between somatic mutations and epigenetic modifications, challenging established views ...

Epigenome, consisting of epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, is essential for the normal development of a multicellular organism. Cell-type-specific epigenetic profiles ...

Dunn, recently carried out a study exploring how DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that entails the addition of a methyl group to the DNA, contributes to the well-documented relationship ...

This study presents a useful finding that targeting amino acid metabolism can overcome Trastuzumab resistance in HER2+ breast cancer. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid and the ...
