Constitutively bound CTCF sites maintain 3D chromatin architecture and long-range epigenetically regulated domains [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The architectural protein CTCF is a mediator of chromatin conformation, but how CTCF binding to DNA is regulated remains poorly understood. Here the authors find that there is a shared subset of CTCF-bound sites resistant to protein depletion in ...

Epigenetics-targeted drugs: current paradigms and future challenges
Signal Transduction and Targeted TherapyEpigenetics governs a chromatin state regulatory system through five key mechanisms: DNA modification, histone modification, RNA modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation.

Epigenetic regulation in metabolic diseases: mechanisms and advances in clinical study
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023 Epigenetics regulates gene expression and has been confirmed to play a critical role in a variety of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoporosis, gout, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and others.

Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2020 Historically, cancer is known to be a genetic disease. It is now realized that it involves epigenetic abnormalities along with genetic alterations. Epigenetics is an extra layer of instruction that lies upon DNA and controls how the genes are read and ...

Cancer epigenetics in clinical practice
Ca, 2022 Cancer development is driven by the accumulation of alterations affecting the structure and function of the genome. Whereas genetic changes disrupt the DNA sequence, epigenetic alterations contribute to the acquisition of hallmark tumor capabilities by ...

The Crosstalk of Epigenetics and Metabolism in Herpesvirus Infection
Viruses, 2020 Epigenetics is a versatile player in manipulating viral infection and a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of viral-induced diseases. Both epigenetics and metabolism are crucial in establishing a highly specific transcriptional network, which

Epigenetics and Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology, 2023 Cancer is a disease with extraordinary clinical significance, with much of medical research being devoted to it. Innumerable factors are relevant in fully understanding cancer but the epigenetic aspect stands out.

Computational epigenetics [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2007 Abstract Epigenetic research aims to understand heritable gene regulation that is not directly encoded in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications modulate the packaging of the DNA in the nucleus and thereby influence gene expression.

Translational Research, 2015 Mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) contain tens of thousands of posttranscriptional chemical modifications. Among these, the N(6)-methyl-adenosine (m(6)A) modification is the most abundant and can be removed by specific mammalian enzymes.
