Single-cell imaging developed which can record DNA methylation in real time.

DNA methylation is essential for the proper control of gene expression and cell identity, what enables cells with the same genetic material to become, for example, a nerve cell, a muscle cell or a skin cell. Certain diseases, including cancer, involves changes in DNA methylation patterns, and the ability to document these alterations aid in the development of novel therapies.  However, scientists have only been … Continue reading Single-cell imaging developed which can record DNA methylation in real time.
