Histone deacetylation and other modifications, particularly the methylation of lysine 9 within histone H3 (H3-K9) residues located in the histone tails, cause chromatin condensation and block ...

Thus, histone modifications generally represent a more complex and diverse mechanism to affect gene transcription than DNA methylation. In fact, one effect of DNA methylation can be to recruit ...

The most popular of these treatments aim to alter either DNA methylation or histone acetylation. Inhibitors of DNA methylation can reactivate genes that have been silenced. Two examples of these ...

Sen and her colleagues studied fragments containing cryptic sites and compared the levels of histone methylation, which winds up DNA and switches it “off” by making it unavailable for transcription, ...

"The changes that happen with the fat exposure, the changes in metabolism and the changes in histone methylation and gene expression are the types of changes that can be associated with hormone ...

Epigenetic reprogramming holds promise for reversing aging, addressing cellular aging mechanisms and paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

To compact the DNA, plants use various epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation and modifications of the histone proteins ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

Citrullination, a transformative protein post-translational modification, is gaining recognition for its wide-ranging impact on cellular function and human disease.
