Epigenetics in Organ Specific Disorders (Volume 34) (Translational Epigenetics, Volume 34)
By Chandra S. Boosani, Ritobrata Goswami
Epigenetics in Organ Specific Disorders, a new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, provides a foundational overview and nuanced analysis of epigenetic gene regulation distinct to each organ type and organ specific disorders, fully elucidating the epigenetics pathways that promote and regulate disease. After a brief introduction, chapter authors compare epigenetic regulations across normal and disease conditions in different organ tissues, exploring similarities and contrasts. The role of epigenetic mechanisms in stem cells, cell-matrix interactions and cell proliferation, cell migration, cellular apoptosis, necrosis, pyknosis, tumor suppression, and immune responses across different organ types are examined in-depth.Organ specific epigenetic mechanisms and biomarkers of early use in developing drugs, which can selectively target the organ of interest, are also explored to enable new precision therapies.
Are you ready to dive deep into the fascinating world of epigenetics and its role in organ-specific disorders? If so, then look no further than “Epigenetics in Organ Specific Disorders,” a groundbreaking new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series. Written by leading experts Chandra S. Boosani and Ritobrata Goswami, this book offers a comprehensive overview and analysis of epigenetic gene regulation specific to each organ type, shedding light on the pathways that promote and regulate disease.
Epigenetics is a rapidly evolving field of study that focuses on the chemical modifications of DNA and its associated proteins, which can turn genes on or off without altering the underlying DNA sequence. It plays a critical role in various biological processes, including development, aging, and disease. By understanding the epigenetic mechanisms underlying organ-specific disorders, we can potentially develop new targeted therapies to treat these conditions.
The book begins with an insightful introduction to the field of epigenetics, providing a solid foundation for readers who are new to the subject. The authors then delve into a detailed comparison of epigenetic regulations across normal and disease conditions in different organ tissues. By exploring the similarities and contrasts, readers gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving organ-specific diseases.
One of the key focuses of this book is the role of epigenetic mechanisms in stem cells, cell-matrix interactions, cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, necrosis, pyknosis, tumor suppression, and immune responses. The authors carefully examine these processes in various organ types, highlighting the specific epigenetic factors that contribute to disease development and progression.
What sets this book apart is its emphasis on organ-specific epigenetic mechanisms and biomarkers. The authors discuss how these mechanisms and biomarkers can be used in the development of targeted therapies that selectively target the affected organ, paving the way for precision medicine. The potential for early diagnosis and intervention using epigenetic biomarkers is a game-changer in the field of medicine.
Readers will find the book not only incredibly informative but also highly accessible. The authors have done an excellent job of presenting complex scientific concepts in a clear and concise manner, making the book suitable for both researchers and clinicians. The inclusion of illustrative figures, tables, and diagrams further enhances the understanding of the subject matter.
In conclusion, “Epigenetics in Organ Specific Disorders” is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intricate relationship between epigenetics and organ-specific diseases. Whether you are a student, researcher, or healthcare professional, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field. The potential for targeted therapies based on epigenetic mechanisms opens up exciting possibilities for improving patient outcomes and revolutionizing the field of medicine.
