Epigenetic Changes in Blood Samples May Point to Schizophrenia
March 27, 2012 — Researchers have identified epigenetic changes – known as DNA methylation – in the blood of patients with schizophrenia. The researchers were also able to detect differences depending on ... > full story -
Tiny Reader Makes Fast, Cheap DNA Sequencing Feasible
March 26, 2012 — Researchers have devised a nanoscale sensor to electronically read the sequence of a single DNA molecule, a technique that is fast and inexpensive and could make DNA sequencing widely ... > full story -
Cancer Epigenetics: Breakthrough in Identifying Target Genes
March 13, 2012 — Cancer is usually attributed to faulty genes, but growing evidence from the field of cancer epigenetics indicates a key role for the gene "silencing" proteins that stably turn genes off inside the ... > full story -
Exercise and Caffeine Change Your DNA in the Same Way, Study Suggests
March 6, 2012 — When healthy but inactive men and women exercise for a matter of minutes, it produces a rather immediate change to their DNA. Perhaps even more tantalizing, the study suggests that the caffeine in ... > full story -
R-Loops Break Down Gene Silencing
March 2, 2012 — Researchers have figured out how the human body keeps essential genes switched "on" and silences the vast stretches of genetic repeats and "junk" ... > full story -
Eat Your Broccoli: Another Mechanism Discovered by Which Sulforaphane Prevents Cancer
February 28, 2012 — Researchers have discovered yet another reason why the "sulforaphane" compound in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables is so good for you -- it provides not just one, but two ways to prevent ... > full story -
Childhood Adversity Causes Changes in Genetics
February 27, 2012 — A new article finds epigenetic effect of psychological difficulty in childhood on an important regulator of stress response. The research may help explain a biological link between adversity in youth ... > full story -
Common Flame Retardant Linked to Social, Behavioral and Learning Deficits
February 16, 2012 — Mice genetically engineered to be susceptible to autism-like behaviors that were exposed to a common flame retardant were less fertile and their offspring were smaller, less sociable and demonstrated ... > full story -
Gene Regulator in Brain's Executive Hub Tracked Across Lifespan
February 2, 2012 — Scientists have tracked the activity, across the lifespan, of an environmentally responsive regulatory mechanism that turns genes on and off in the brain's executive hub. Genes implicated in ... > full story -
Processes Leading to Acute Myeloid Leukemia Discovered
January 30, 2012 — Researchers have discovered a molecular pathway that may explain how a particularly deadly form of cancer develops. The discovery may lead to new cancer therapies that reprogram cells instead of ... > full story -
Study Maps Destructive Path from Cigarette to Emphysema
January 18, 2012 — Scientists described the track the toxic smoke takes through the tissues and how they accomplish their destructive ... > full story -
New Culprit Discovered in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
January 12, 2012 — A new study shows how the cancer causing gene Notch, in combination with a mutated Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) protein complex, work together to cause T- cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia ... > full story
