Cellular microtubules are marked by abundant and evolutionarily conserved post‐
translational modifications that have the potential to tune their functions. This review focuses …

Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a unique member of the neurotrophin family
with potent and plethoric effects on the proliferation, differentiation, survival and death of …

The MYST protein lysine acetyltransferases are evolutionarily conserved throughout
eukaryotes and acetylate proteins to regulate diverse biological processes including gene …

Epigenomics is a rapidly growing field. New developments in epigenetics, such as the
recently described modified cytosine variants (eg, 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine, 5hmC) and an …

Gene–environment interactions have long been recognized for their important role in
mediating the development and functions of the central nervous system (CNS). The study of …

Alteration of the acetylation state of histone proteins contributes to transcriptional regulation
and epigenetic inheritance. Dysregulation of these processes may lead to human diseases …

Secondary metabolite production from Streptomyces bacteria is primarily controlled at the
level of transcription. Under normal laboratory conditions, the majority of the biosynthetic …

Histone methylation represents one of the most critical epigenetic events in DNA function
regulation in eukaryotic organisms. Classic molecular biology and genetics tools provide …

Histone acetylation via CBP/p300 coordinates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines
in the activation phase of inflammation, particularly through mitogen-activated protein …

The purpose of this review is to introduce the exciting field of epigenetics and to describe
how it could explain the mechanisms by which environmental changes induce pathological …
