DNA and Histone proteins are targets for epigenetic modifications.

One of the roles of Epigenetics is to drive cellular differentiation from totipotent Stem cells to fully differentiated cell types,

Pneumococcus, or scientifically speaking, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a pathogen responsible for a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis and bacteremia.

In previous posts, we have seen the role of inflammation and glycosylation 

The trend lately is to add "omics" to most of the research projects. Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics...there is no end. The latest trend seems to do "sexomics" studies. Meaning to study the differences

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a common vertebrate model organism in scientific research for studying vertebrate development, gene function, and regenerative abilities. Interestingly, this convenient

Cytoskeletal live cell imaging is extremely powerful when investigating cellular processes such as cytokinesis, motility and organelle transport and organization. The current experimental

Ras and Rho family members are small G proteins involved in the regulation of actin-dependent cell processes such as motility, growth, and intracellular trafficking. Furthermore, dysfunctions of Ras and

We all react to external factors, even the most cold-blooded person. We might hide our emotions, but there they are.

The same happens in cancer. Cells (both the tumour cells and the normal ones)

A lot of efforts are made to identify potent and selective inhibitors for the demethylation reactions catalyzed by members of the JMJD2 and JARID1 protein families (1, 2). Both

DNA and Histone proteins are targets for epigenetic modifications. While DNA is only methylated, histones can be targets for diverse modifications such as methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, phosphorylation

Research is never easy. That's why we either like doing it or supporting it.

That said, it's easier for some researchers than others. If you are working on human, mouse or even rat models, you have
