Certain Proteins Extend Life Span in Worms by 30 Percent
June 16, 2010 — Researchers have identified a new group of proteins involved in determining the life span of laboratory roundworms. Blocking the expression of one member of the group can extend the worm's life span ... > full story -
Children Born After Assisted Reproduction at Greater Risk of Congenital Malformations, Experts Say
June 13, 2010 — Couples considering undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment should be informed about the increased risk of congenital malformation posed by the use of ART, experts ... > full story -
Epigenetic Gene Silencing May Hold Key to Fatal Lung Vascular Disease
June 7, 2010 — A rare but fatal disease of blood vessels in the lung may be caused in part by aberrant silencing of genes rather than genetic mutation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension has been linked to genetic ... > full story -
Gene Related to Aging Plays Role in Stem Cell Differentiation
June 4, 2010 — A gene shown to play a role in the aging process appears to play a role in the regulation of the differentiation of embryonic stem cells, according to new ... > full story -
Epigenetic Similarities Between Wilms Tumor Cells and Normal Kidney Stem Cells Found
June 3, 2010 — A detailed analysis of the epigenetics -- factors controlling when and in what tissues genes are expressed -- of Wilms tumor reveals striking similarities to stem cells normally found in fetal ... > full story -

Pluripotent and Differentiated Human Cells Reside in Decidedly Different Epigenomic Landscapes
May 6, 2010 — Human embryonic stem cells possess remarkable properties of self-renewal and pluripotency, the ability to become almost any kind of cell within the body. And yet they share the same genome or set of ... > full story -
'Epigenetic' Concepts Offer New Approach to Degenerative Disease
April 28, 2010 — In studies on cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders and other degenerative conditions, some scientists are moving away from the "nature-versus-nurture" debate and are finding you're not a ... > full story
