Directing cell differentiation with small-molecule histone deacetylase inhibitors: The example of promoting pancreatic endocrine cells
15 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Genes in the mammalian genome contain information necessary to build an organism during development. Epigenetic processes add a further degree of complexity. These mechanisms of temporal and spatial control of gene activity during the development of complex organisms modulate gene expression patterns without modifying the DNA sequence. Post-translational modifications of histones such as acetylation bestow the...
