Common symptoms include irregular menstruation, infertility, ova...
متن کاملEpigenetic 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...
متن کاملSwitching 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."
متن کاملEpigenetic Mechanisms in Sjögren’s Syndrome
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune epithelitis and recent advances in our comprehension of its pathophysiology strongly suggest a multi-step process that involves environmental factors (e.g. chronic viral infection, drugs), followed by deregulation of the epigenetic machinery (e.g. DNA demethylation, histone modifications, microRNAs), which in turn specifically affects ly...
