      Cross-talk among epigenetic modifications: Lessons from histone arginine methylation 

      Molina-Serrano, D.; Schiza, V.; Kirmizis, Antonis (2013)
      Epigenetic modifications, including those occurring on DNA and on histone proteins, control gene expression by establishing and maintaining different chromatin states. In recent years, it has become apparent that epigenetic ...

      Epistatic Role of the MYH9/APOL1 Region on Familial Hematuria Genes 

      Voskarides, Konstantinos; Demosthenous, Panayiota; Papazachariou, Louiza; Arsali, Maria; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Zavros, Michalis; Stylianou, Konstantinos G.; Xydakis, D.; Daphnis, Eugenios K.; Gale, D. P.; Maxwell, P. H.; Elia, Avraam; Pattaro, C.; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2013)
      Familial hematuria (FH) is explained by at least four different genes (see below). About 50% of patients develop late proteinuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesized that MYH9/APOL1, two closely linked genes ...

      The Ink4/Arf locus is a barrier for iPS cell reprogramming 

      Li, H.; Collado, M.; Villasante, A.; Strati, Katerina; Ortega, S.; Cãamero, M.; Blasco, M. A.; Serrano, M. (2009)
      The mechanisms involved in the reprogramming of differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the three transcription factors Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1), Klf4 and Sox2 remain poorly understood. The ...

      A new non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome through epigenetic markers and real-time qPCR 

      Patsalis, Philippos C.; Tsaliki, Evdokia; Koumbaris, George L.; Karagrigoriou, Alex; Velissariou, Voula; Papageorgiou, Elisavet A. (2012)
      Introduction: Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of Down syndrome is rapidly evolving. Currently, two applications for NIPD of Down syndrome have been developed with potential and have displayed positive results

      Shared mechanisms in stemness and carcinogenesis: Lessons from oncogenic viruses 

      Iacovides, D.; Michael, S.; Achilleos, Charis; Strati, Katerina (2013)
      A rise in technologies for epigenetic reprogramming of cells to pluripotency, highlights the potential of understanding and manipulating cellular plasticity in unprecedented ways. Increasing evidence points to shared ...

      Steps toward understanding the inheritance of repressive methyl-lysine marks in histones 

      Reinberg, D.; Chuikov, S.; Farnham, P.; Karachentsev, D.; Kirmizis, Antonis; Kuzmichev, A.; Margueron, R.; Nishioka, K.; Preissner, T. S.; Sarma, K.; Abate-Shen, C.; Steward, R.; Vaquero, A. (2004)

      Whole-genome fetal and maternal DNA methylation analysis using MeDIP-NGS for the identification of differentially methylated regions 

      Keravnou, Anna; Ioannides, Marios; Tsangaras, Kyriakos; Loizides, Charalambos; Hadjidaniel, Michael D.; Papageorgiou, Elisavet A.; Kyriakou, Skevi; Antoniou, Pavlos; Mina, Petros; Achilleos, Achilleas P.; Neofytou, Maria C.; Kypri, Elena; Sismani, Carolina; Koumbaris, George L.; Patsalis, Philippos C. (2016)
      DNA methylation is an epigenetic marker that has been shown to vary significantly across different tissues. Taking advantage of the methylation differences between placenta-derived cell-free DNA and maternal blood, several ...
