Epigenetic regulation during fetal femur development: DNA methylation matters [PDF]
Epigenetic modifications are heritable changes in gene expression without changes in DNA sequence. DNA methylation has been implicated in the control of several cellular processes including differentiation, gene regulation, development, genomic ...

Associations Between Methylation of Paternally Expressed Gene 3 (PEG3), Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Invasive Cervical Cancer. [PDF]
Cytology-based screening for invasive cervical cancer (ICC) lacks sensitivity and specificity to discriminate between cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) likely to persist or progress from cases likely to resolve.

The Dnmt3L ADD Domain Controls Cytosine Methylation Establishment during Spermatogenesis [PDF]
A critical aspect of mammalian gametogenesis is the reprogramming of genomic DNA methylation. The catalytically inactive adaptor Dnmt3L is essential to ensuring this occurs correctly, but the mechanism by which it functions is unclear.

Analysis of SDC2 and SEPT9 promoters methylation in plasma cfDNA to detect colorectal and precancerous lesions [PDF]
Aim: Analysis of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) is now broadly used to diagnose, assess treatment response, and recurrence of various tumor types. Detection of aberrant cfDNA methylation in plasma is considered as one of the promising approaches for early ...

Methylation of demethylavermectins [PDF]
Demethylavermectins, which lack methyl groups on the oleandrose moiety, were fed to wild-type "Streptomyces avermitilis," which produces the normal avermectin components, and the bioconversion products were identified. The oleandrose units of the demethylavermectins were not methylated by the wild-type strain, but the C-5 of the macrolide ring was ...

Promoter aberrant methylation status of ADRA1A is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma
The aim of our study was to explore the relationship between the methylation status of the alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (ADRA1A) gene and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Turnover and function of DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites [PDF]
Cell type identity is largely determined by regulatory networks consistent of various transcription factors. Transcription factor activity requires interaction with DNA and thus critically depends on the accessibility of binding motifs.
