A blog about research, awareness, prevention, treatment and survivorship of Breast Cancer and all cancers, including targeted scientific research and a grassroots approach to increase screening for cancer, especially in the low income and under-insured population of El Paso, Texas, with a view to expand this new health care model to many other 'minority' populations across the United States and beyond

Digging deeper ! Chromatin remodeling
As we are progressing deeper into our understanding of disease pathophysiology, we are discovering that some of the cancers are caused or exacerbated by abnormalities of cyclin pathways (Triple negative breast cancers). There are disturbances at Cyclins and Hormone Receptors at the membranes. But deeper into the cells, there is disturbance at the Histones (epigenetic zone) where modulation is needed for transcriptions factors to be formed and unleashed. Here, the dance is governed by the PRBM1, BAFs, PBAF, BRDs, RSC, ARIDs and SWI/SNF (Chromatin remodeling). This is where BRAC-1 also plays its main function. Indeed some of the Adaptors or cofactor fail the BRCA-1 to continue to repair DNAs! And some cytokines fail here! we are working deeper!
