Epigenetics in Human Disease, 3rd Edition

Epigenetics in Human Disease is a comprehensive reference that examines the role of epigenetic mechanisms—like DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs—in the onset, progression, and treatment of human diseases. Fully revised in its third edition, the book delves into both foundational science and clinical applications across a wide spectrum of pathologies, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, neurobehavioral conditions, and aging-related illnesses .

More than just theory, this volume integrates advanced technologies and translational research: it covers stem-cell epigenetic therapies, bioinformatic analysis of high‑throughput sequencing data, imprinting disorders, microRNA in oncology, and epigenetic strategies for managing obesity, diabetes, respiratory and cardiac conditions
