Topic: Epigenetic DNA Modifications and Role in Disease Pathogenesis

Epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation and histone modifications, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression without altering the underlying genetic sequence. These modifications are increasingly recognized as key factors in the development and progression of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions. This Special Issue aims to explore the mechanisms by which epigenetic changes influence disease pathogenesis, the potential for therapeutic interventions targeting these modifications, and the latest advancements in epigenetic research. We invite submissions that delve into the molecular mechanisms, clinical implications, and potential therapeutic strategies related to epigenetic DNA modifications and their role in human diseases.

 Here are some topics involved:

● DNA Methylation and Cancer;

● Histone Modifications in Neurodegenerative Diseases;

● Epigenetics in Autoimmune Disorders;

● Environmental Epigenetics and Disease;

●Epigenetic Biomarkers for Disease Diagnosis.
