Targeting SWI/SNF Complexes in Cancer: Pharmacological Approaches and Implications

  • Megan R. Dreier,
  • Jasmine Walia and
  • Ivana L. de la Serna

SWI/SNF enzymes are heterogeneous multi-subunit complexes that utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to remodel chromatin structure, facilitating transcription, DNA replication, and repair. In mammalian cells, distinct sub-complexes, including cBAF,...

Out of the Silence: Insights into How Genes Escape X-Chromosome Inactivation

  • Samantha B. Peeters,
  • Bronwyn J. Posynick and
  • Carolyn J. Brown

23 November 2023

The silencing of all but one X chromosome in mammalian cells is a remarkable epigenetic process leading to near dosage equivalence in X-linked gene products between the sexes. However, equally remarkable is the ability of a subset of genes to continu...

Sex-Specific miRNA Differences in Liquid Biopsies from Subjects with Solid Tumors and Healthy Controls

  • Elena Tomeva,
  • Ulrike D. B. Krammer,
  • Olivier J. Switzeny,
  • Alexander G. Haslberger and
  • Berit Hippe

Dysregulation of epigenetic mechanisms has been recognized to play a crucial role in cancer development, but these mechanisms vary between sexes. Therefore, we focused on sex-specific differences in the context of cancer-based data from a recent stud...
