The following is a summary of “Histone Modifications and DNA Methylation in Psoriasis: A Cellular Perspective,” published in the January 2025 issue of Allergy and Immunology by Pan et al. Epigenetic ...

Funding: Primary funding for the study was by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Preterm Birth Initiative (1019789), the National ...

The most popular of these treatments aim to alter either DNA methylation or histone acetylation. Inhibitors of DNA methylation can reactivate genes that have been silenced. Two examples of these ...

A typical human pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but most parents know this number is only a rough estimate. Babies are born on a seemingly unpredictable timeline, with a normal pregnancy ranging from 38 to ...

Histone deacetylation and other modifications, particularly the methylation of lysine 9 within histone H3 (H3-K9) residues located in the histone tails, cause chromatin condensation and block ...

Scientists have discovered a molecular timer in mice that governs pregnancy length, offering new insights into preterm birth risks.

Sen and her colleagues studied fragments containing cryptic sites and compared the levels of histone methylation, which winds up DNA and switches it “off” by making it unavailable for transcription, ...

Dopamine, serotonin, and histamine carry messages between neurons. They can also influence circadian gene expression ...
