Epigenetics: remember the past & prepare for the future
摘要:
The epigenetic system helps to fulfil two basic challenges of multicellular organisms: proliferation and differentiation. Epigenetic plasticity allows cells to differentiate, whereas epigenetic inheritance and maintenance help to maintain cell fate in proliferating cells and postmitotic cells. Interestingly, epigenetic mechanisms not only regulate gene expression at the current stage, but also regulate the kinetics of gene induction in the future, through different mechanisms in various biological processes. In this talk, I will highlight our recent discoveries regarding how epigenetic mechanisms regulate the kinetics of future gene induction in biological processes such as memory and reining.
