Epigenetics of discordant monozygotic twins: implications for disease
Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants and many similar
environments before and after birth. However, they can also show phenotypic discordance …

TGF-β induces global changes in DNA methylation during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in ovarian cancer cells
A key step in the process of metastasis is the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
We hypothesized that epigenetic mechanisms play a key role in EMT and to test this …
