Lysine methylation is one of the most important covalent modifications involved in diverse cellular processes. Methylation of histone H3 Lys4 (H3K4), predominantly associated with actively transcribed ...

Programmed cell death ligands expression in pheochromocytomas (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL): Relationship with the hypoxic response and malignant behaviour. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

Researchers are taking advantage of a quirk in the evolution of fruit fly genes to help develop new weapons against cancer. Loyola researchers are taking advantage of a quirk in the evolution of fruit ...

The human gene MLL is named for the mixed lineage leukemia it creates. Specifically, the gene may break apart and fuse with parts from one of a number of other genes on other chromosomes to create ...

Keeping egg cells in stasis during childhood is a key part of female fertility. New research sheds light on the role of epigenetics in placing egg cells into stasis through childhood. A team has ...

A type of epigenetic mark that ordinarily causes gene activation may instead facilitate gene silencing in oocytes, cells that must be kept in stasis throughout childhood if they are to have the ...

Keeping egg cells in stasis during childhood is a key part of female fertility. New study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology sheds light on the role of epigenetics in placing egg ...

Environmental conditions, such as heat, acidity, and mechanical forces, can affect the behavior of cells. Some biologists have even shown that magnetic fields can influence them. Now, for the first ...
