Lysine acetylation is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a critical role in modulating protein function, stability and interactions across a range of organisms. This modification, ...

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth that drives cancer in humans. This fundamental cellular process involves ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

Epigenetic inhibitors as a promising new antimalarial intervention strategy? A new study identifies an inhibitor of gene regulation that specifically kills the malaria pathogen. Epigenetic inhibitors ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...
