Beschreibung
The book describes important advances in our understanding of how environmental conditions affect cardiac gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms. The roles of chromatin modifications (in particular DNA methylation and histone modifications) and of chromatin regulators are discussed in the context of cardiac diseases. The boom provides the readership with an overview of the current understanding of epigenetic regulation in the heart, and stimulates to further research in this exciting field. The book is edited and written by international renowned experts and addresses professors, students and researchers working in the field of cardiac biology and epigenetics.
