Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Once considered mere transcriptional noise, lncRNAs are now known to play vital roles in ...

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can significantly impact gene activity and cellular ...

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, together with colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, have identified how a long ...

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In cancer cells the epigenetic landscape is highly altered. Hypermethylation of certain stretches of DNA is the most well-studied epigenetic modification in cancer, and each tumor type has its own ...

A review in Clinical Epigenetics synthesizes growing evidence that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures such as diet, obesity, smoking, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and stress alter sperm ...

Back in 1942, the term epigenetics was introduced by Conrad Waddington to present a picture of cell development, one in which cells descended a hillside and followed diverging valley paths before ...

At the onset of diabetic cardiomyopathy, Trdn-as expression increases, which regulates the methylation of Casq2 mRNA mediated by METTL14, thus increasing the stability and expression of Casq2 mRNA.

Fathers may carry traces of their childhood trauma in their sperm cells, a new study finds. The new research, published Jan. 3 in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, looked at the "epigenetics" of the ...
