Epigenetics-targeted drugs: current paradigms and future challenges
Epigenetics governs a chromatin state regulatory system through five key mechanisms: DNA modification, histone modification, RNA modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation.

New Generation of Clinical Epigenetics Analysis and Diagnosis for Precision Medicine [PDF]
Following the application of epigenetic and epigenomics research into tumor diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hereditary diseases, and rare diseases, in vitro diagnostics (IVD) epigenetic and epigenomics are increasingly employed for those ...

Epigenetics and depression
 [PDF]
The risk for major depression is both genetically and environmentally determined. It has been proposed that epigenetic mechanisms could mediate the lasting increases in depression risk following exposure to adverse life events and provide a mechanistic ...

In higher eukaryotic organisms epigenetic modifications are crucial for proper chromatin folding and thereby proper regulation of gene expression. Epigenetics include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNAs. First described in tumors, the involvement of aberrant epigenetic modifications has been reported also in other diseases, i.e ...

Epigenetic regulation in metabolic diseases: mechanisms and advances in clinical study
Epigenetics regulates gene expression and has been confirmed to play a critical role in a variety of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoporosis, gout, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and others.

Cancer epigenetics in clinical practice
Cancer development is driven by the accumulation of alterations affecting the structure and function of the genome. Whereas genetic changes disrupt the DNA sequence, epigenetic alterations contribute to the acquisition of hallmark tumor capabilities by ...
