: CSCs are critical drivers of the tumor and stem cell phenotypes of glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Chromatin modifications play a fundamental role in driving a GBM CSC phenotype. The goal of this study is to further our understanding of how stem cell-driving events control changes in chromatin architecture that contribute to the tumor-propagating phenotype of GBM.

Epigenetics is the study of changes in organisms that result from modifications in gene expression rather than alterations in the genetic code itself [...

Prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) determines lifetime mental and physical health. Here, we show in rats that PNMS has consequences for placental function and fetal brain development across four generations (F0-F3). Using a systems biology approach, comprehensive DNA methylation (DNAm), miRNA, and mRNA profiling revealed a moderate impact of PNMS in the F1 generation, but drastic changes in F2 and F3 generations, suggesting compounding effects of PNMS with each successive generation.

Tracheary elements (TEs) are vital in the transport of various substances and contribute to plant growth. The differentiation of TEs is complex and regulated by a variety of microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the dynamic changes in miRNAs during each stage of TE differentiation remain unclear, and the miRNA regulatory network is not yet complete.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults and has a median survival of less than 15 months. Advancements in the field of epigenetics have expanded our understanding of cancer biology and helped explain the molecular heterogeneity of these tumors. B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site-1 (Bmi-1) is a member of the highly conserved polycomb group (PcG) protein family that acts as a transcriptional repressor of multiple genes, including those that determine cell proliferation and differentiation.
