Epi-drugs in combination with immunotherapy: a new avenue to improve anticancer efficacy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Immune checkpoint factors, such as programmed cell death protein-1/2 (PD-1, PD-2) or cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) receptors, are targets for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) developed for cancer immunotherapy.

The Social Brain Meets the Reactive Genome: Neuroscience, Epigenetics and the New Social Biology

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The rise of molecular epigenetics over the last few years promises to bring the discourse about the sociality and susceptibility to environmental influences of the brain to an entirely new level.

An Epigenetic Role of Mitochondria in Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2022
Mitochondria are not only the main energy supplier but are also the cell metabolic center regulating multiple key metaborates that play pivotal roles in epigenetics regulation.

The Mbd1-Atf7ip-Setdb1 pathway contributes to the maintenance of X chromosome inactivation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundX chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a developmental program of heterochromatin formation that initiates during early female mammalian embryonic development and is maintained through a lifetime of cell divisions in somatic cells.

Cancer epigenetics [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2005
The field of cancer epigenetics is evolving rapidly on several fronts. Advances in our understanding of chromatin structure, histone modification, transcriptional activity and DNA methylation have resulted in an increasingly integrated view of epigenetics. In response to these insights, epigenetic therapy is expanding to include combinations of histone

Progress in mitochondrial epigenetics

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2013
Mitochondria, intracellular organelles with their own genome, have been shown capable of interacting with epigenetic mechanisms in at least four different ways.

High-coverage allele-resolved single-cell DNA methylation profiling reveals cell lineage, X-inactivation state, and replication dynamics

open access: yesNature Communications
DNA methylation patterns at crucial short sequence features, such as enhancers and promoters, may convey key information about cell lineage and state. The need for high-resolution single-cell DNA methylation profiling has therefore become increasingly ...

Additional sex combs interacts with enhancer of zeste and trithorax and modulates levels of trimethylation on histone H3K4 and H3K27 during transcription of hsp70. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Maintenance of cell fate determination requires the Polycomb group for repression; the trithorax group for gene activation; and the enhancer of trithorax and Polycomb (ETP) group for both repression and activation.

DNA methylation dynamics in aging: How far are we from understanding the mechanisms? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
DNA methylation is currently the most promising molecular marker for monitoring aging and predicting life expectancy. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related DNA methylation changes remain mostly undiscovered.Here we discuss the current knowledge ...

Epigenetic understanding of gene-environment interactions in psychiatric disorders: a new concept of clinical genetics

open access: yesClinical Epigenetics, 2012
Epigenetics is a mechanism that regulates gene expression independently of the underlying DNA sequence, relying instead on the chemical modification of DNA and histone proteins.
