The genetic information of human cells is stored in the context of chromatin, which is
subjected to DNA methylation and various histone modifications. Such a 'language'of …

DNA methylation is of paramount importance for mammalian embryonic development. DNA
methylation has numerous functions: it is implicated in the repression of transposons and …

BACKGROUND Somatic mutations accumulate in normal tissues as a function of time. The
great majority of these mutations have no effect on fitness, so selection does not act upon …

Single-cell RNA sequencing has revealed extensive transcriptional cell state diversity in
cancer, often observed independently of genetic heterogeneity, raising the central question …

Age-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a risk factor for malignancy, cardiovascular
disease, and all-cause mortality. Somatic mutations in DNMT3A are drivers of CH, but …

Bone defects repair and regeneration by various causes such as tumor resection, trauma,
degeneration, etc. have always been a key issue in the clinics. As one of the few organs that …

Inflammation is an evolutionarily selected defense response to infection or tissue damage
that involves activation and consumption of immune cells in order to reestablish and …

Enzymes that catalyse CpG methylation in DNA, including the DNA methyltransferases 1
(DNMT1), 3A (DNMT3A) and 3B (DNMT3B), are indispensable for mammalian tissue …

Chromatin is a macromolecular complex predominantly comprising DNA, histone proteins
and RNA. The methylation of chromatin components is highly conserved as it helps …

The DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) family comprises a conserved set of DNA-modifying
enzymes that have a central role in epigenetic gene regulation. Recent studies have shown …
