Fulminant hemorrhagic course of a thalamic H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma in an adult patient: illustrative case. [PDF]
BACKGROUND H3 K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are rare tumors, which are, regardless of their histological appearance, classified as World Health Organization grade 4 tumors. They are characterized by a diffuse growth pattern, midline anatomical location, and poor prognosis.

Genomic Profiling of Pediatric Solid Tumors With a Dual DNA/RNA Panel: JCCG-TOP2 Study. [PDF]
In the JCCG‐TOP2 nationwide pediatric cancer genomic profiling study, 204 patients' tumors and peripheral blood from 50 institutions across Japan were successfully analyzed using a dual DNA/RNA panel. A total of 147 (72%) had potentially actionable findings, including diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic findings in 111 (54%), 61 (30%), and 64 (31%),

Emerging roles of telomeric chromatin alterations in cancer [PDF]
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play important and multiple roles in tumorigenesis. Functional telomeres need the establishment of a protective chromatin structure based on the interplay between the ...

ATXR5 and ATXR6 are H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. [PDF]
Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation, histone H3 dimethylation at Lys9 (H3K9me2) and monomethylation at Lys27 (H3K27me1).

The promise of metabolic imaging in diffuse midline glioma
Recent insights into histopathological and molecular subgroups of glioma have revolutionized the field of neuro-oncology by refining diagnostic categories. An emblematic example in pediatric neuro-oncology is the newly defined diffuse midline glioma (DMG)

Histone H3 methylation orchestrates transcriptional program in mouse spermatogenic cell line
Changes in histone modifications always correlate with altered transcriptional activities of genes. Recent studies have shown that the mutation of certain lysine residues to methionine in the histone variant H3.3 can act as a valuable tool to reduce ...
