Last[edit]

Last night I heard of a cancer treatment that was described as a stem cell treatment. Blood is removed, heavet doe of radiation, chemo are applied, them blood is returned. Any comments? Wblakesx 22:55, 19 November 2006 (UTC)wblakesx[reply]

Lung tissue has been restored in mice using 13-cis-retinoic acid as a modifier of genetic expession in lung tissue. Does anyone have any other specific modulations? Details of such modulations?Wblakesx 15:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)wblakesx[reply]

Gene modulation is epigenetic in nature[edit]

There was a question on the Science reference desk about this initial definition of gene modulation. I can suggest that one uses the phrase "epigenetic alteration of gene expression". The link explains about epigenetics, and is pretty clear about how it would be different from therapy that involves changing a cell's DNA. --Seejyb 22:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
