Chromatin Remodeling: Orchestrating Gene Expression and Disease
Received Date: Nov 03, 2025 / Published Date: Dec 01, 2025
Abstract
Chromatin remodeling is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism regulating gene expression by altering DNA accessibility through remodelers and histone modifications. This process is crucial for DNA repair, replication, and development, with its dysregulation implicated in diseases, particularly cancer. ATP-dependent remodelers, histone acetylation, DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs, nucleosome dynamics, histone variants, and chromatin’s role in DNA damage response and nuclear organization all contribute to this complex regulatory network. Mutations in chromatin remodeling genes are hallmarks of many cancers, presenting therapeutic opportunities.
