Tuncay Baubec, professor at the Department of Molecular Mechanisms of Disease at the University of Zurich, and his team have shown that one particular protein plays an important part in this process: The DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) enzyme is responsible for positioning the methylation to the right place on the DNA.

However, many industry insiders say these changes are opening up unique opportunities for researchers who focus on translating basic science into real - world cures and are eager to explore the molecular mechanisms of disease, test hypotheses, and do work that benefits patients. (sciencemag.org)
