Four From Asia Among EMBO Young Investigator 2017 Cohort
The European Molecular Biology Organization has inducted 28 new researchers into its Young Investigators Program, including four based in Asia.
The Pathway Of Lung Cancer Progression
Targeting a protein that enhances the invasiveness of cancer cells could help treat lung cancer, researchers say.
Faulty Gene Impairs Brain Development
Using genetically engineered mice, researchers in Japan have demonstrated that DNA repair is an essential process for normal brain development.
Artificial Catalysts For Epigenetics Without Enzymes
Scientists in Japan have performed DNA acetylation in living cells using chemical catalysts instead of biological enzymes.
How Uterine Fluid Informs The Fetus
Uterine fluid, which contains molecules that can reprogram a developing embryo, could one day be used as a biomarker of fetal health.
Improving Cotton Without Modifying Its Genes
The methylome of the cotton genome suggests that the economically important crop could be improved with epigenetic modifications that do not affect the underlying genome sequence.
The Epigenetics Of Blood Vessel Formation
Scientists have found a group of transcription factors that is essential for blood vessel differentiation from stem cells.
The Tricky Way Gastric Cancer Evades The Immune System
Gastric cancer cells have an altered pattern of gene expression which helps them hide from the immune system.
To Bloom Or Not To Bloom
Epigenetics, specifically deacetylation, are part of the puzzle that controls how plants decide when to flower.
