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...

Histone Demethylase Modulation: Epigenetic Strategy to Combat Cancer Progression

  • Rashmi Srivastava,
  • Rubi Singh,
  • Shaurya Jauhari,
  • Niraj Lodhi and
  • Rakesh Srivastava

Epigenetic modifications are heritable, reversible changes in histones or the DNA that control gene functions, being exogenous to the genomic sequence itself. Human diseases, particularly cancer, are frequently connected to epigenetic dysregulations....
