The field of cancer research is increasingly exploring the intricate intersections among epigenetics, cancer metabolism, and immunotherapy. These ...

A research team has discovered that cancer, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, can be caused entirely by epigenetic changes, in other words, changes that contribute to how gene expression ...

The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...

Six epigenetic features define the new Epigenetic Hallmarks of Cancer, an add-on to the widely accepted Hallmarks of Cancer. Scientists concluded that malignant transformation requires some degree of ...

A new preclinical study by Van Andel Institute Professor Dr. Scott Rothbart and colleagues reveals how two epigenetic cancer medications approved for separate uses may hold promise for treating ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

A person's lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born, reports a paradigm-shifting study by Van Andel Institute scientists. The findings, published in Nature Cancer, identified two ...

DNA mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes drive tumorigenesis, but epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, take center stage in a new era of cancer research. 1 In a study ...

Francesco Crea is currently funded by a Prostate Cancer UK grant to develop epigenetic cancer therapies. He has also received research funding from Belgian Volition to test cancer biomarkers. Though ...

The roots of cancer run deep. Indeed, they’re usually assumed to run all the way to the blighted bits of DNA we call oncogenic mutations. But what if they don’t have to run quite that deep? What if ...

Research Areas: Cancer Pathobiology & Immunology, Cancer Genomics, Metabolomics, & Epigenetics, Carcinogenesis & Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis & Experimental Therapeutics, Cancer Cell Biology & ...

Epigenetics play a significant role in cancer onset and spread, and scientists explore epigenetic regulators for their roles in carcinogenesis. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Özgen ...
