The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Gene expression has to be carefully regulated, or serious problems can arise. Many things can control the expression of genes, including chemical marks that affect the genome without changing the ...

MOE Key Laboratory of Molecular Epigenetics, NENU has the following research output in the current window (1 September 2024 - 31 August 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a molecular epigenetic mechanism, common to several species throughout the tree of life, which mediates long-term cellular responses to ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

KLF5 appears to fuel pancreatic cancer metastasis by reprogramming epigenetic controls, offering a potential new therapeutic target.

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Discover how emerging epigenetic clock models are reshaping our understanding of ovarian aging and revealing both the promise and current limits of predicting fertility outcomes through biological age ...

Scientists have mapped how genetics and life experiences leave lasting epigenetic marks on immune cells. The discovery helps explain why people respond so differently to the same infections and could ...
