5-Hydroxymethylcytosine: a key epigenetic mark in cancer and chemotherapy response
17 Nov 2025
Abstract excerpt
5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), an epigenetic modification derived from the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of dioxygenases, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression, cellular differentiation, and developmental plasticity. Once considered an intermediate in DNA demethylation, 5hmC is now recognized as a stable and functionally significant...
