Abcam EpiSeeker Assays Lead the Search for DNMT KnowledgeJune 13, 2012DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) have been a trending topic in the epigenetics community for years because of their role in cytosine methylation. Studies that set out to pin down the precise function of DNMTs in various disease and developmental states often introduce more questions than answers. To get to the bottom of DNMT function, you need […]
DNA Methylation Addiction Keeps Cancer Cells AliveJune 13, 2012Addictions are so strong that some people think they can’t live without them. For cancer cells, that’s actually the case. Cancer cells’ DNA methylation addiction actually keeps them alive, according to a group of California researchers. Altered DNA methylation is just one of many changes that go down when a cell becomes cancerous. The researchers […]
