We have learned a lot from studying the human genome, but have only partially unveiled the processes underlying cell determination. The identity of each cell type is largely defined by an instructive layer of molecular annotations on top of the genome – the epigenome – which acts as a blueprint unique to each cell type and developmental stage.</span></p> Thu, 17 Nov 2016 17:00:28 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 26399 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/pair-proteins-found-drive-neuroinflammation-263341 <p><span>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ researchers have identified two proteins that work together to drive neuroinflammation in acute conditions such as microbial or autoimmune encephalitis, and in chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis. </span></p> Fri, 07 Oct 2016 16:22:54 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 26258 at /newsroom
