The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is composed ...

The histone tag, characterized by lysine 8 acetylation on histone H4, identifies a significant departure from the histone ...

No safety concerns emerged in part one of the phase 1 trial assessing CS014, a histone deacetylase inhibitor that has ...

The team's findings were published in the paper "Functional reprogramming of neutrophils within the brain tumor ...

How? Scientists are using ChIP and PCR to find out. To examine changes in histone modification during blood cell development in chickens, the investigators started with whole chromatin from ...

In a preprint uploaded to bioRxiv this January that has yet to undergo peer review, the team describes hundreds of potential histone proteins in bacteria, including one that they predict interacts ...

Scientists discovered a way to block hepatitis B infection using an anticancer drug, offering hope for new treatments.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling further tumor growth.

Hyper-elevated levels of RNAPII on these histone genes indicate cancer over-proliferation and potentially contribute to chromosomal changes. These findings point to the use of a new genomic ...
