Sandy L said Informative. I bought this book for a class only to find out that it was available through the school online class. I basically paid for it twice. The book is informative.. Well Written text This is a great text to bring one up to date on the exploding subject of epigenetics. I am an older physician and appreciate the update.. A MUST read to understand the frontiers in Epigenetics Roberto Slepetys A very compreensive and also deep review of the last discoveries and the function of Epigenetics.Very organized book, from multiple authors expressing diferent research lines and perspectives from Epigenetics. The text is covered with references, average 150 per chapter with ar
The biological processes impacted by epigenetics are vast and encompass effects in lower organisms and humans that include tissue and organ regeneration, X-chromosome inactivation, stem cell differentiation, genomic imprinting, and aging. From molecular mechanisms and epigenetic technology, to discoveries in human disease and clinical epigenetics, the nature and applications of the science is presented for those with interests ranging from the fundamental basis of epigenetics, to therapeutic interventions for epigenetic-based disorders.Timely and comprehensive collection of fully up-to-date reviews on epigenetics that
He earned doctorates in molecular biology and osteopathic medicine from the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center and his bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Houston. Tollefsbol’s research interests have covered a wide range of topics such as aging, epigenetics, nutrition, cancer, telomerase, and caloric restriction.
