B-Cell Lymphoma Protected By SPAK Silencing
October 10, 2009 — Scientists have demonstrated that misregulation of the protein SPAK may contribute to B-cell lymphoma ... > full story -
Early 20th Century Evolutionist May Have Discovered Epigenetics
September 2, 2009 — A new study may help end the controversy surrounding Lamarckian experimentalist Paul Kammerer. The study suggests that far from being a fraud, Kammerer may have discovered the field of ... > full story -
Dynamic Changes In DNA Linked To Human Diabetes
September 1, 2009 — New research may give new meaning to the adage "You are what you eat." The DNA isolated from the muscles of people with diabetes bears chemical marks not found in those who respond normally to rising ... > full story -
Changes In DNA Patterns Are Linked To Prenatal Smoke Exposure
August 24, 2009 — A new study has found that the life-long effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy may occur through specific changes in DNA ... > full story -
Epigenetics: Evolutionarily Preserved Mechanism Governs Use Of Genes
August 18, 2009 — Researchers have found that the protein coding parts of a gene are packed in special nucleosomes. The same type of packaging is found in the roundworm C. elegans, which is a primeval relative of ... > full story -
Scientists Take Early Steps Toward Mapping Epigenetic Variability
August 14, 2009 — Scientists have taken the first steps toward mapping epigenetic variability in cells and tissues. Mapping the human epigenome, similar to the human genome project in the 1990s, could someday allow ... > full story -
Silenced Genes As Warning Sign Of Blood Cancer
August 4, 2009 — In the genetic material of cancer cells, important growth inhibitors are often switched off by chemical labels in the DNA. How this happens has now been investigated. Scientists discovered in mice ... > full story -
Epigenetic Signature Changes In Low Oxygen Levels May Contribute To Prostate Cancer Development
July 30, 2009 — Researchers have characterized epigenetic signature changes in prostate cells under conditions of low oxygen levels that may lead to tumor development. The results of the study may provide important ... > full story -
Cancer's Distinctive Pattern Of Gene Expression Could Aid Early Screening And Prevention
July 27, 2009 — Distinctive patterns of genes turned off -- or left on -- in healthy versus cancerous cells could enable early screening for many common cancers and maybe help avoid them scientists ... > full story -
Nature Or Nurture? New Epigenetic Model Blurs Line In The Debate
July 21, 2009 — A new report complicates the debate over whether nature or nurture plays the most important role in complex diseases such as psychiatric disorders, heart disease and cancer. Scientists explain how ... > full story
