A machine-learning algorithm has been created that automates high-throughput screens of epigenetic medicines.
The basic premise of drug discovery screening necessitates that the biological assays upon which it depends can be performed in a reproducible manner. In addition, the techniques employed must generate results that are biologically relevant and actionable.
Researchers have reported finding on an epigenetic signature in patient cells that appears to predict inflammation risk in Crohn's disease...
Researchers in the U.S. have identified a new link between epigenetic changes in the brains of rats and resulting translational control during fear memory reconsolidation.
Congestive heart failure is a terminal disease that affects nearly 6 million people in the U.S.; yet its management is limited to symptomatic treatments as its causal mechanisms – including its most common form, ischemic cardiomyopathy – are unknown.
A new system, pGENMi, could predict genomic features associated with drug responses, by identifying differences in gene expression...
In an experiment with pigs, researchers have demonstrated for the first time that the administration of even extremely low doses of an endocrine disruptor - in this case, an endogenous oestrogen - leads to epigenetic changes in a pregnant sow’s DNA.
Researchers have discovered that epigenetic proteins promote the proliferation of mammary gland stem cells in response to the sex hormone progesterone.

Progress in stem cell research and its translation to medicine is the focus of the International Society for Stem Cell Research annual meeting 20-23 June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
A team of researchers in Spain show for the first time the complete epigenome of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, the most common type of leukaemia.
Using data from multiple molecular databases, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have found nine distinct types of exhausted T cells (‘Tex’), which could have implications for fighting chronic infections, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Epigenomic analyses may lead to other unexpected findings and novel therapeutic drug targets for many diseases
Scientists have identified a gene that in women is linked to the creation and location of new fat cells and therefore is thought to contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes...
