New Role for RNAi Discovered: Epigenetic Memory May Pass RNA Silencing from One Generation to the Next
June 26, 2012 — Researchers have identified a mechanism related to RNAi that scans for intruders not by recognizing dsRNA or some other aberrant feature of the foreign sequence, but rather by comparing the foreign ... > full storyMore: -
Fetal Growth Restriction Affected by Formation of Maternal Gene
June 26, 2012 — A Japanese study has found that maternal rather than fetal factors are associated with fetal growth restriction. A comparison of maternal and fetal angiotensin-converting enzyme genotypes with the ... > full story -
Carcinogens Linked to Cancer Stem Cells, but Spinach Can Help
June 20, 2012 — Researchers for the first time have traced the actions of a known carcinogen in cooked meat to its complex biological effects on microRNA and cancer stem cells. They also found that spinach can help ... > full story -
Fish Shed Light on Human Melanoma
June 15, 2012 — Zebrafish, a transparent member of the minnow family, are providing insight into human melanoma – a form of skin cancer – that may lead to new or repurposed drug treatments, for skin and ... > full story -
Epigenomes of Newborns and Centenarians Differ: New Clues to Increasing Life Span
June 11, 2012 — An international study sheds important new light on how epigenetic marks degrade over time. Since epigenetic lesions are reversible, it would be possible to develop drugs that increase the life span, ... > full story -

Today's Environment Influences Behavior Generations Later: Chemical Exposure Raises Descendants' Sensitivity to Stress
May 21, 2012 — Researchers have seen an increased reaction to stress in animals whose ancestors were exposed to an environmental compound generations earlier. The findings put a new twist on the notions of nature ... > full story -
New Technique Reveals Unseen Information in DNA Code
May 17, 2012 — Scientists have used a new technique to map 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in DNA from human and mouse embryonic stem cells, revealing new information about their ... > full story -
Successful Stem Cell Differentiation Requires DNA Compaction, Study Finds
May 11, 2012 — New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: Differentiation into specific cell types that give rise to the ... > full story
