Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms underlie the phenotypic plasticity of cells, while aberrant epigenetic regulation through genetic mutations and/or misregulated expression of epigenetic factors leads to aberrant cell fate determination, which provides a foundation for oncogenic transformation. Lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1, KDM1A) removes methyl groups from methylated proteins, including histone H3, and is frequently...
