The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Epigenetic Chromatin Silencing: Bistability and Front Propagation
, 2007 The role of post-translational modification of histones in eukaryotic gene regulation is well recognized. Epigenetic silencing of genes via heritable chromatin modifications plays a major role in cell fate specification in higher organisms.

Polyglutamine Disease: Acetyltransferases Awry [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 Recent evidence indicates that inhibition of histone acetyltransferases may be a primary cause of cellular pathogenesis in polyglutamine diseases such as Huntington disease; the results raise the possibility that pharmacologic manipulation of protein acetylation levels could be of therapeutic benefit.
