A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Researchers from Osaka University find that neuronal activity induces gene expression at the preprepared histone acetylation sites in the nucleus by influencing transcription factors and chromatin ...

Histone acetylation is determined by the dynamic interaction of two families of enzymes: histone acetylases and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Histone acetylation plays a role in regulating chromatin ...

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 ...

Changes known as epigenetic modifications play an important role in cancer development, among other things. Being able to analyze them quickly and reliably could, for example, contribute significantly ...

Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...
