Cancer Epigenetics

Herausgeber: Tollefsbol, Trygve

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The realization that heredity is not the sole determining factor in disease development recently sparked interest in the field of epigenetics, which is now the focus of many of the most exciting and significant advances in cancer research. This important and highly relevant text presents in-depth discussions of DNA methylation analysis and cancer, histone modifications and cancer, and other epigenetic aspects of cancer. It explores the role of epigenetics in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer and offers a comprehensive overview of current and potential new epigenetics advancements.
