Epigenetic regulators change the way specific genes function without altering their DNA sequence. By working with mutant mice as models, the research team, led by Prof. Xiang-Jiao Yang, of 平特五不中鈥檚 Goodman Cancer Center &amp; Department of Medicine, 平特五不中 Health Center, was able to link the importance of a specific epigenetic regulator known as BRPF1 to the healthy development of a region in the hippocampus called the dentate gyrus.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/465493126.jpg?itok=iWVK-G3F" width="160" height="160" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">10 </span><span class="month">March </span><span class="year">2015</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 10 Mar 2015 19:30:40 +0000 webfull 108672 at /channels
