Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside
By Marianne Legato J M.D. PhD (hon c) F.A.C.P., Dov Feldberg MD, Marek Glezerman
Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside explores our expanding knowledge of the science of epigenetics in which gene expression is modified as a consequence of small chemical additions to various components of the genome. The book provides an overview of the field, describing the epigenetic phenomena that unite biological sex and environmental experience to create the unique phenome of each individual. The book also analyzes the impact of ancestors’ environmental experience on subsequent generations through the sex-specific transmission of environmentally induced epigenetic modifications.
Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside is a groundbreaking book that delves into the fascinating world of epigenetics and its impact on human biology and disease. Written by renowned experts in the field, including Marianne Legato J M.D. PhD (hon c) F.A.C.P., Dov Feldberg MD, and Marek Glezerman, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the science of epigenetics and its association with sex and gender.
Epigenetics is a rapidly evolving field that investigates the modifications to gene expression caused by small chemical additions to the genome. These modifications can be influenced by various factors, including biological sex and environmental experience. This book delves into the intricate relationship between sex, gender, and epigenetics, highlighting how these factors shape our unique phenome.
One of the key aspects discussed in this book is the impact of ancestors’ environmental experiences on future generations. Through the transmission of environmentally induced epigenetic modifications, certain traits and diseases can be passed down in a sex-specific manner. By exploring this phenomenon, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and inherited traits.
The book covers a wide range of topics related to sex, gender, and epigenetics. It starts by providing a comprehensive understanding of normal physiology and then delves into the experience of disease. Each chapter is dedicated to exploring a specific area, such as fetal programming, the role of the microbiome, cancer, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, embryogenesis, and oocyte aging. The diverse range of topics ensures that readers gain a holistic understanding of the subject.
Throughout the book, the authors highlight the importance of biological sex and gender in gene expression and its impact on human biology and disease. By examining how environmental experiences are translated to future generations in a sex-specific manner, the book challenges traditional notions of genetics and inheritance.
Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside features contributions from international leaders in the field, guaranteeing that readers are exposed to the latest research and insights. The authors combine their extensive knowledge and expertise to offer a comprehensive and accessible overview of this exciting field.
