Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs movement, and happens when cells in a region of the brain called the basal ganglia become dysfunctional or begin to die. These cells ...

Cancer cells have ways to hide from the immune system, but there are some unique features on these dangerous cells that ...

An AI model has been trained to recognize DNA methylation signatures of 13 different types of cancer. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London (both UK) present an AI ...

MethylScan is a low-cost blood test that detects cancers and organ diseases by analyzing DNA methylation, improving early diagnosis, and identifying disease origin.

Researchers at Lund University have created the most detailed map yet of the epigenome in pancreatic cells that regulate blood sugar, revealing key differences between people with and without type 2 ...

CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...

A machine learning model analyzing CpG-based DNA methylation accurately predicted the origin of many different cancer types ...
