The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

Background RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) has emerged as a critical epigenetic regulator in cancer biology, yet its role in the tumour immune microenvironment (TME) remains incompletely understood.

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and ...

Lacey W. Heinsberg receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Amery Treble-Barna receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. A newly discovered biological signal in the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I am an MIT Senior Fellow & Lecturer, 5x-founder & VC investing in AI The thing about aging is that it affects everybody. Since ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

We have all dealt with PDF files at one point or another in our time on the internet or in the office. From tickets purchased online, to business documents from work, school, or government ...

Among genetically identical ‘agouti viable yellow’ (A vy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags – such ...

Using cannabis could make changes to your body's epigenetic code, research has discovered. The findings, which were published in a study in 2023, suggest that using marijuana in any way can affect the ...
