Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENE IMPRINTING: ENGRAVING THE PATHOGENESIS OF HERIDETARY DISEASESSandeep Satapathy, Roshan Kumar Singh, Harikrishnan RajendranGene imprinting has conduited the scope of our understanding of phenotypic expression and its corelation with constituent genotype. It is an epigenetic process that involves DNA methylation and histone modulation to attain monoallelic gene expression without altering the genetic sequences. A distinctive model of non-mendelian genetics, imprinting extends the control over expression of traits and selection of the allele that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistone Tail Modifications of H3 and H4 during the Physarum polycephalum Cell CycleMarie-Claire Arnaud, Christophe ThirietProblem statement: Histone modifications are required for chromatin activities and are believed to form an epigenetic code. However, the inheritance of the histone post-translational modifications remains unclear. Approach and Results: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histone modifications throughout the cell cycle and to determine whether the histone marks are transferred to daughter cells. Using the naturally … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEntropyomics as the Blueprint of the Logic of Normal Cell Division and MalignancyKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: In this article I propose a blueprint based on one of the most fundamental laws governing the known universe, namely the second law of thermodynamics and I present support for its central role in initiation of mitosis and relationship of the other sub cellular compartments and their organization. Approach: Life is considered to be the most sophisticated antientropy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 10,378 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,137 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND THEIR IMPLICATION FOR BIOMEDICAL SCIENCESMaria Csobonyeiova, Stefan Polak, Lubos DanisovicThe groundbreaking discovery, that somatic mammalian cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through the exogenous expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-myc, has yielded a new cell type for potential application in regenerative medicine, the induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Since the first demonstration of creating iPSCs in 2006 great efforts have been made … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2013 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
