The field of stem cell biology is currently being redefined. Stem cell (hematopoietic and non‐
hematopoietic) differentiation has been considered hierarchical in nature, but recent data …

Publisher Summary Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, a covalent modification of the
genome, is emerging as an important player in the regulation of gene expression. This …

A review of parthenogenesis in mammals is presented. The various routes of
parthenogenetic development is discussed. Spontaneous parthenogenesis, induced …

The state of DNA methylation in the c-fos gene was examined in human livers of different
ages, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The degree of methylation in the intron 1 to …

Genomic imprinting is a special form of epigenetic system that determines the parent-of-
origin-specific, or monoallelic, expression of a small number of genes, termed" imprinted" …

DNA methylation regulates important biological processes and is involved in tumorigenesis
and several human diseases, such as Rett and immunodeficiency, centromeric instability …

Investigations were performed on growth phase-dependent Eco RII site-specific DNA
methylation of the carrot genome during primary culture to elucidate physiological aspects of …

DNA methylation modifies gene expression. Methylation patterns are established during
ontogeny, but they change with aging, usually with a net decrease in methylation. The …

In eukaryotic organisms cellular fate and tissue specific gene expression are regulated by
the activity of proteins known as transcription factors that by interacting with specific DNA …

Asthma is a complex genetic disease, which arises from the interaction of multiple genes
and environmental stimuli. These influences are important to asthma pathogenesis. These …
