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 -
Why BPA Leached from 'Safe' Plastics May Damage Health of Female Offspring
February 25, 2010 — Here's more evidence that "safe" plastics are not as safe as once presumed: New research suggests that exposure to bisphenol A during pregnancy leads to epigenetic changes that may cause permanent ... > 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 -
Predicting Prognosis and Treatment Response in a Subset of Pancreatic Cancer Patients
February 11, 2010 — Specific chemical modifications to proteins called histones, which are found in the nucleus of cells and act as spools around which DNA is wound, can be used to predict prognosis and response to ... > full story
