Описание:
Epigenetics is considered by many to be the "new genetics" because of the overwhelming evidence of the contribution of non-genetic factors such as nutrition, environment, and chemical exposure on gene expression. The effects of epigenetics are vast, including tissue/organ regeneration, X-chromosome inactivation, and stem cell differentiation and genomic imprinting and aging. Aberrations of epigenetics influence many diseases for which clinical intervention is already in place, and many novel epigenetic therapies for cancer, immune disorders, neurological and metabolic disorders, and imprinting diseases are on the horizon.
This comprehensive collection of reviews written by leaders in the field of epigenetics provides a broad view of this important and evolving topic. From molecular mechanisms and epigenetic technology to discoveries in human disease and clinical epigenetics, the nature and applications of the science will be presented for those with interests ranging from the fundamental basis of epigenetics to therapeutic interventions for epigenetic-based disorders.
Contributions by leading international investigators involved in molecular research and clinical and therapeutic applications
Integrates methods and biological topics with basic and clinical discoveries
Includes coverage of new topics in epigenetics such as prions, regulation of long-term memory by epigenetics, metabolic aspects of epigenetics, and epigenetics of neuronal disorders

Описание: "
Medical Epigenetics" is an inclusive volume on the medical aspects of epigenetics with a focus on human systems, epigenetic disease that affect these systems, and modes of treating epigenetic-based disorders and diseases. This book provides stand-alone coverage of all human systems relevant to epigenetic maladies and all major aspects of medical epigenetics. It is useful not only to physicians, nurses, medical students, and many others directly involved with healthcare, but also investigators in life sciences, biotech companies, graduate students, and all others who are interested in more applied aspects of epigenetics.
The expansion of the field of epigenetics has brought a wealth of information with respect to variations in phenotypes that are heritable. In addition, many advances have emerged that have shown epigenetic aberrations as central to a number of diseases and disorders that were previously thought to be manifested primarily through genetic factors. Along with the remarkable studies that have been made in our understanding of epigenetic-based diseases and disorders has come new information that allows treatments that target these many epigenetic aberrations. "Medical Epigenetics" brings all of this knowledge together to comprehensively review the state of medical epigenetics in one defining volume.
The basic design of "Medical Epigenetics" is to lead the reader from the fundamental mechanisms of epigenetics as they apply to humans through approaches for treating epigenetic-based diseases. This book begins with the basic tenets of epigenetics in human systems and progresses through general medical aspects of epigenetics, epigenetics or system disorders, multi-system medical epigenetics, pharmacology of epigenetics, and therapeutic epigenetics. "Medical Epigenetics" closes with a chapter on future prospects in medical epigenetics. This book is by far the most complete book in the area of applied epigenetics. Focuses on practical and applied aspects of medical epigeneticsIncludes peer-reviewed chapters with up-to-date coverage of emerging topics in medical epigenetics by leading expertsAppeals to those interested in fundamental epigenetics and inheritance, as well as those with more clinical interests including practicing physicians and other health care professionalsCovers the basic tenets of epigenetics in human systems and progresses through general medical aspects of epigenetics, epigenetics or system disorders, multi-system medical epigenetics, pharmacology of epigenetics, and therapeutic epigenetics

Описание: Epigenetics, once believed stable after development, has been found to occur in fully differentiated, post-mitotic central nervous system cells in response to environmental signals. This book explores the role of epigenetic risk factors in complex diseases.
This stimulating volume addresses vital questions about gene/environment interactions as they affect cell health from the prenatal period through later life. Beginning with a tour of epigenetic processes in the human body, the book assembles current theoretical and empirical developments across the discipline, among them transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the effects of maternal nutrition on epigenetic change, and possible links between epigenetics and childhood obesity. Public health and policy aspects of the field are discussed in depth, with the understanding that much can be done to improve our epigenetic health as a species. And in this vein, contributors consider future possibilities, such as the reprogramming of genes to reverse cancer and other diseases.
Included in the coverage:
The role of environmental epigenetics in perinatal and neonatal development
The epigenetic biomarker γH2AX: from bench science to clinical trials
What's the risk? Dental amalgam, mercury exposure, and human health risks throughout the lifespan
Post-traumatic stress disorder: neurological, genetic, and epigenetic bases
Children's exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs: long-term outcomes
Ethical implications of epigenetics
Epigenetics, the Environment, and Children's Health Across Lifespans brings real-world knowledge and applications of this increasingly important field to public health practitioners, maternal and child health researchers, and environmental health experts.

Описание: This multivolume reference work addresses the fact that the well being of humankind is predicated not only on individuals receiving adequate nutrition but also on their genetic makeup. The work includes more than 100 chapters organized in the following major sections: Introduction and Overview; Epigenetics of Organs and Diseases in Relation to Diet and Nutrition; Detailed Processes in Epigenetics of Diet and Nutrition; Modulating Epigenetics with Diet and Nutrition; and Practical Techniques. While it is well known that genes may encode proteins responsible for structural and dynamic components, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that nutrition itself may alter the way in which genes are expressed via the process of epigenetics. This is where chemically imposed alteration in the DNA sequence occurs or where the functional expression of DNA is modulated. This may include changes in DNA methylation, non-coding RNA, chromatin, histone acetylation or methylation, and genomic imprinting. Knowledge regarding the number of dietary components that impact on epigenetic processes is increasing almost daily. Marshalling all the information on the complex relationships between diet, nutrition, and epigenetic processes is somewhat difficult due to the wide myriad of material. It is for this reason that the present work has been compiled.

Описание: The discovery of DNA as the genetic material brought great hope to scientists all over the world. It was believed that many of the lingering questions in genetics and the mechanisms of heredity would fnally be answered. However, as often is the case in science, more qu- tions arose out of this discovery. What defnes a gene? What are the mechanisms of gene regulation? Further discovery and technological innovations brought about sequencing techniques that allowed the study of complete genomes from many organisms, including Arabidopsis and humans. Despite all the excitement surrounding these technologies, many features of the genome remained unclear. Peculiar characteristics in genome composition such as signifcant redundancy consisting of many repetitive elements and noncoding sequences, active transcriptional units with no protein product, and unusual sequences in promoter regions added to the mysteries of genetic make-up and gene regulation. Indeed, the more we discovered about the genome, the more diffcult it became to understand the complexity of cellular function and regulation. Out of the study of the intricacies of the genome and gene regulation, arose a new science that was independent of actual DNA changes, but critical in maintaining gene regulation and genetic stability. Epigenetics, literally translated as “above genetics,” is the science that describes the mechanisms of heritable changes in gene regulation that does not involve modifcations of DNA sequence. These changes may last through somatic cell division and, in some cases, throughout multiple generations.
