Figure 1From: 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is an essential intermediate of active DNA demethylation processes in primary human monocytesMonocyte differentiation in vitro. Schematic presentation of the postmitotic differentiation model of in vitro monocyte differentiation. Monocytes do not proliferate (as demonstrated by the lack of nucleotide incorporation) and DNA demethylation therefore requires an active process.Back to article page
