The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...

Investigators from VHIO, which is part of the Vall Hebron Campus, publish the first study to address the impact of the exposome on early-onset colorectal cancer through epigenetic signatures. The ...

A new study suggests that a common pesticide, picloram, may contribute to growing rates of early onset colorectal cancer, asides from known risk factors such as smoking and diet.

A study led by José A. Seoane, Head of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology's (VHIO) Computational Biology Group ...

Researchers used DNA methylation-based “epigenetic fingerprints” as proxies for lifelong exposome-related patterns and found ...

April 21, 2026 expert reaction to study looking at epigenetic fingerprints linked to pesticide exposure and association with early-onset colon and rectal cancer risk . A study pub ...

Cancer drugs are designed to shut tumors down. But sometimes, in the very act of attacking a tumor, treatment can also help a small fraction of cancer cells become harder to kill. A new study from ...

Chromatin is one of the earliest identified targets for cancer therapeutics. Drug development aimed at altering chromatin can be traced to the differentiating agents of the 1970s and their link to DNA ...

Methylation and cancer While these papers looked at the role of chromatin in the genetic expression of cancers, there are other laboratories looking at the role of methylation, another epigenetic ...

Emerging opportunities in the cancer biomarkers market include the growth of personalized oncology, non-invasive diagnostics, ...

SKIMS data recorded over 50,000 cancer cases between 2014 and 2024. Nun chai, smoked meat, pesticide-bombarded vegetables, ...
