The Role of Epigenetic Mechanisms in the Regulation of Gene Expression in the Nervous System
Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 Neuroepigenetics is a newly emerging field in neurobiology that addresses the epigenetic mechanism of gene expression regulation in various postmitotic neurons, both over time and in response to environmental stimuli.

miRNAs as Regulators of Antidiabetic Effects of Fucoidans [PDF]
, 2019 open access articleDiabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with a high mortality rate worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), and other small noncoding RNAs, serve as endogenous gene regulators through binding to specific sequences in RNA and modifying gene ...

Association of uncoupling protein (Ucp) gene polymorphisms with cardiometabolic diseases
Molecular Medicine, 2020 The hereditary aspect of obesity is a major focus of modern medical genetics. The genetic background is known to determine a higher-than-average prevalence of obesity in certain regions, like Oceania.

Regulated gene expression in methanogens [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1994 Methanogens form a very large and diverse group of microorganisms within the domain of the Archaea. Energy for their growth is obtained by the reduction of a variety of substrates into methane. Several genes, coding for enzymes involved in methanogenesis or in the central metabolism have been cloned and studied.

ARID1A promotes genomic stability through protecting telomere cohesion
Nature Communications, 2019 Cells with ARID1A mutations exhibit mitotic defects, yet show surprisingly low levels of copy number defects. Here, Zhao et al. resolve this issue by showing that ARID1A loss causes defects in telomere cohesion, which selects against gross alterations in

Regulation of expression of the erythropoietin gene
Current Opinion in Hematology, 1998 Erythropoietin, a hormone produced in the adult kidney, controls erythrocyte production. In response to ischemic or hypoxic hypoxia, the level of expression of the gene increases markedly. We have a limited understanding of the factors governing the tissue specificity of erythropoietin gene expression but considerable progress has been made toward ...

A novel long non-coding natural antisense RNA is a negative regulator of Nos1 gene expression [PDF]
, 2015 Long non-coding natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are widespread in eukaryotic species. Although recent studies indicate that long NATs are engaged in the regulation of gene expression, the precise functional roles of the vast majority of them are ...
