Epigenetic Therapy of Cancer

Together with genetic alterations, aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression also plays a major role in the development of many diseases, including cancer. Overall, when compared to normal cells, the genome of malignant cells is characterized by global DNA hypomethylation and histone hypoacetylation. Considering the significance of DNA methylation and histone acetylation in the initiati...

Switching on Epigenetic Therapy

Reversible epigenetic changes that alter gene expression are a characteristic of many cancers and other diseases. Biotech companies are taking note and are starting to develop new drugs to reverse such pathogenic "epimutations."

Sudden gains during therapy of social phobia.

The present study investigated the phenomenon of sudden gains in 107 participants with social phobia (social anxiety disorder) who received either cognitive-behavioral group therapy or exposure group therapy without explicit cognitive interventions, which primarily used public speaking situations as exposure tasks.
