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 keep at least a ...

It is well known that chronic inflammation can increase a person’s cancer risk, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Now, a new study reveals, in a mouse model of colitis, gut tissues may ...

The world is full of microbes, and we don’t know anything about many of them. Lots of these microbes, which include bacteria, fungi, and viruses... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Chronic inflammation can raise a person's risk of cancer, and a new study reveals key details about how that might happen in the gut and points to better ways to identify and reduce risk. Scientists ...

A Japanese research team pushed mouse cloning to its breaking point, producing 1,206 clones from a single donor line before ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and ...

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...

Cloning promises genetic copies, but a growing body of research across dogs, mice, cattle, and primates shows that clones ...

How does alcohol change your brain at a genetic level? A new study reveals that alcohol metabolites directly alter epigenetic markers, particularly in the ventral hippocampus. Discover the molecular ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
