Cover Story: Epigenomic dynamics impact pancreatic cancer development, yet other nuclear features may also participate in pancreatic oncogenesis. The LINC complex, the nuclear pore, and the nuclear lamina illustrated here regulate epigenomic processes in normal development. Their dysregulation contributes to the biology of many cancers including pancreatic carcinomas. Thus, understanding these nuclear envelope components is an attractive focus to aid in designing strategies to combat pancreatic neoplasia.View Paper here.

Cytoplasmic components and their interactions with the nuclear genome may mediate patterns of phenotypic expression to form a joint inheritance system. However, proximate mechanisms underpinning these interactions remain elusive. To independently ass...

The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the enzymatic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that exerts important functions during normal development as well as disease. PRC2 through EZH2 tri-methylates histone H3 lysine tail residue...

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and intractable malignancy with high mortality. This is due in part to a high resistance to chemotherapeutics and radiation treatment conferred by diverse regulatory mechanisms. Among these, constituents of the nucl...

Oryza sativa indica (cv. IR64) and Oryza sativa japonica (cv. TNG67) vary in their regeneration efficiency. Such variation may occur in response to cultural environments that induce somaclonal variation. Somaclonal variations may arise from epigeneti...

Exposure to pathogen infection, and occupational and environmental agents, contributes to induction of most types of cancer through different mechanisms. Cancer is defined and characterized by accumulation of mutations and epimutations that lead to c...
