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 -
Key Step for Regulating Embryonic Development Discovered
April 22, 2010 — The interplay of two proteins, SUMO and SNP2, influences epigenetic signaling that drives gene expression to form new tissues and organs as the embryo ... > full story -
Molecular Discovery Points to New Therapies for Brain Tumors
April 15, 2010 — A class of brain tumor that tends to emerge in younger patients but is less aggressive than others can be identified by examining DNA methylation of a specific set of genes, scientists ... > full story -

Changes in Fetal Epigenetics Found Throughout Pregnancy
April 14, 2010 — Researchers have found that epigenetic marks on human placentas change from the first trimester of pregnancy to the third, a discovery that may allow clinicians to prevent complications in ... > full story -
Scientists Track Variant of Gene-Regulating Protein in Embryonic Stem Cells
April 10, 2010 — The journey from embryonic stem cell to a fully developed liver, heart or muscle cell requires not only the right genes, but genes that are turned on and off at the right time -- a job that is ... > full story -
'Start/stop Switch' for Retroviruses Found
April 7, 2010 — A researcher has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for silencing retroviruses, segments of genetic material that can lead to fatal mutations in a cell's ... > full story -
For Stem Cells, Practice Makes Perfect
April 5, 2010 — Multipotent stem cells have the capacity to develop into different types of cells by reprogramming their DNA. In a new study, researchers have found that reprogramming is imperfect in the early ... > full story -
What It Might Take to Unravel the 'Lean Mean Machine' That Is Cancer
February 23, 2010 — Scientists in Australia have published a new paper describing gene expression in a prostate cancer cell: more sweeping, more targeted and more complex than we could ever have imagined, even five ... > full story -
Epigenetic Signals Differ Across Alleles
February 12, 2010 — Researchers have identified numerous novel regions of the genome where the chemical modifications involved in controlling gene expression are influenced by either genetic variation or the parental ... > full story
