Molecular mechanisms and physiology of disease Implications for Epigenetics and Health

Molecular mechanisms and physiology of disease Implications for Epigenetics and Health / edited by Nilanjana Maulik, Tom Karagiannis.

In a simplified form, epigenetics refers to heritable changes in phenotype that are not due to changes in the underlying DNA sequence. In this book, epigenetic mechanisms of regulation and dysregulation in health and disease are explored in great depth. Detailed chapters on epigenetic processes incl...
