PVT1 lincRNA signals an androgen-dependent transcriptional activation program of oncogenes in prostate cancer cells.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among men and is driven by multiple factors, including androgen signaling and its receptor. Long non-coding RNAs, such as PVT1, play key roles in cancer, particularly by regulating …

Dectin-1 epigenetic reprogramming rescues senescent-like Treg function in allergic asthma.

Allergic asthma is characterized by immune dysregulation, and deficiencies in regulatory T-cell (Treg) function are a hallmark of the disease. However, mechanisms of Treg impairment for their therapeutic correction remain poorly defined. The results showed …

Epigenetic and Transcriptional Regulatory Networks Underlying Psoriasis Pathogenesis.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated dermatological disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and dysregulated immune signaling. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility loci, the disease's multifactorial nature underscores the importance of non-genetic regulatory …

Fixing worn telomeres restores heart function in heart failure

A new therapy that protects worn DNA caps might reverse heart failure by restoring mitochondrial energy—but human testing is years away.

Researchers developed a gene therapy that protects telomeres (the caps on DNA) in heart cells, preventing damage signals that trigger mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure. In mouse models and human cell cultures, this approach restored …

Remote control for genes: Using electromagnetic fields to turn aging genes on and off

New tool lets scientists turn aging genes on and off from outside the body, offering a way to test anti-aging therapies that weren't possible before.

Scientists developed a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to remotely activate specific genes in living mice with precise timing and location control. They tested it by partially reversing aging processes, modeling Alzheimer's disease, and treating …

Can gene therapy slow aging? A review of current evidence and real challenges

Gene therapy might eventually slow aging in humans, but we're still in early lab stages—decades away from knowing if it actually works.

This review examines gene therapy's potential to combat aging by targeting fundamental aging processes across multiple organ systems, citing encouraging preclinical results in nervous, muscular, circulatory, and immune systems. However, the authors emphasize that translating …

Transforming tumor microenvironments: nanotechnology and gene therapy in cellular signaling and epigenetic insight into chemo-resistance.

Chemoresistance remains the primary cause of cancer treatment failure, yet current understanding remains fragmented across isolated mechanistic studies. This review provides a unified framework linking tumor microenvironment (TME) signaling, epigenetic reprogramming, and nanotherapeutic intervention as …
