Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Before a newly synthesized protein can undergo folding, it must be processed and transported to the correct location within the cell after emerging from the ribosome. N-terminal acetylation ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and DNA accessibility for transcription. Histone modification is regulated by various ...

Cancer incidence rises sharply with age, yet the biological mechanisms that make older patients more vulnerable to treatment failure remain poorly ...

RNA epigenetics also called Epitranscriptomics is an evolving field of research that explores chemical modifications on RNA and their impact on the cell and ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne and University Hospital Cologne have determined that the novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines not only induce acquired immune responses such as antibody ...

For all its mysteries, cancer can be boiled down to a disease caused by cell division gone haywire. But what determines the rate at which cancer cells can grow? They need cell building materials—amino ...

The review systematically describes the “reflex arc” of lactylation regulation: writers (such as p300 and AARS1/2) sense lactate and install lactyl marks, erasers (HDACs and SIRT1/3) remove them, and ...
