A new study suggests that a common pesticide, picloram, may contribute to growing rates of early onset colorectal cancer, asides from known risk factors such as smoking and diet.

Investigators from VHIO, which is part of the Vall Hebron Campus, publish the first study to address the impact of the exposome on early-onset colorectal cancer through epigenetic signatures. The ...

Scientists have zeroed in on a widely-used weed killer that could be tied to a historic rise in young colon cancer cases.

A new study indicates scientists may be able to tell if a baby was breastfed by a blood test.

A study led by José A. Seoane, Head of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology's (VHIO) Computational Biology Group ...

The heart might be doing more than pumping blood. A new study suggests its constant beating could help stop cancer cells from ...

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

A machine learning model analyzing CpG-based DNA methylation accurately predicted the origin of many different cancer types ...

DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes.

Researchers used DNA methylation-based “epigenetic fingerprints” as proxies for lifelong exposome-related patterns and found ...
