This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

These modifications increase chromatin accessibility, influencing growth, differentiation, and ion transport, with contrasting effects on normal and colorectal cancer cells. Study: Short-chain fatty ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

Liquid biopsies are tests that detect signs of cancer through a simple blood draw. Unlike traditional biopsies, which require removing a piece of tissue, a liquid biopsy typically looks for mutations ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. “The intestine has an enormous ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

A new liquid biopsy developed by researchers at the University of Chicago is offering a powerful new window into cancer’s earliest stages by flagging subtle shifts in the gut microbiome. Unlike ...
