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 ...

Cancer drugs are designed to shut tumors down. But sometimes, in the very act of attacking a tumor, treatment can also help a small fraction of cancer cells become harder to kill. A new study from ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on March 31, 2026, titled “Epigenetic dysregulation and ...

Methylation and cancer While these papers looked at the role of chromatin in the genetic expression of cancers, there are other laboratories looking at the role of methylation, another epigenetic ...

A person's lifetime risk for cancer may begin before they are even born, reports a paradigm-shifting study by Van Andel Institute scientists. If cancer does develop in the lower risk state, it is more ...

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 ...

Epigenetic regulation has emerged as a crucial factor in tumour biology, fundamentally influencing gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications – ...

Super-enhancers (SEs) are large clusters of transcriptional regulatory elements that drive oncogene expression, maintain malignancy, and create “transcriptional addiction” in cancer. They function via ...

For patients with challenging cancers like lymphoma and sarcoma, these 3D images dramatically change the way doctors diagnose and treat their disease.

OXFORD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oxford Nanopore Technologies, the company delivering a new generation of nanopore-based molecular sensing technology, today announced a new collaboration with UK ...

Chromatin is one of the earliest identified targets for cancer therapeutics. Drug development aimed at altering chromatin can be traced to the differentiating agents of the 1970s and their link to DNA ...
