Function of Histones and Variants in Chromatin Remodeling: A Case Study of Spermatogenesis in Aquatic Animals

Progress in Fishery Sciences
Epigenetics refers to heritable changes that do not affect DNA sequences. Compared to genetic changes, epigenetic changes affect gene expression and protein products in cells, and these changes are reversible and dependent on the environment.

The physics of epigenetics

, 2016
In higher organisms, all cells share the same genome, but every cell expresses only a limited and specific set of genes that defines the cell type. During cell division, not only the genome, but also the cell type is inherited by the daughter cells. This

Histone H3.1 is a chromatin-embedded redox sensor triggered by tumor cells developing adaptive phenotypic plasticity and multidrug resistance

Cell Reports
Summary: Chromatin structure is regulated through posttranslational modifications of histone variants that modulate transcription. Although highly homologous, histone variants display unique amino acid sequences associated with specific functions ...

Zinc‐Containing Bioactive Glass Programs Macrophage Polarization through Extracellular Traps Regulation for Enhanced Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Zinc‐containing bioactive glass (ZnBG) promotes diabetic wound healing by regulating macrophage extracellular traps (METs). Specifically, ZnBG reduces oxidative stress and inhibits the PAD4 and NLRP3/caspase‐1/GSDMD signaling pathways, thereby suppressing MET formation.

"Open" chromatin : histone acetylation, linker histones & histone variants

, 2013
DNA in the eukaryotic cell is packaged into a structure called chromatin. Chromatin is a dynamic structure that regulates access to DNA in response to environmental stimuli. Two widely conserved mechanisms that influence chromatin structure are the addition of post-translational modifications (PTMs) to histones and other chromatin-associated proteins ...
