Epigenetic Drug DiscoveryEdition 1

This book reviews the evolving field of epigenetics and its implications for drug discovery and precision medicine. It also focuses on the intricate mechanisms governing gene regulation and the impact of epigenetics on health and disease. The book encompasses the complexities of epigenetic mechanisms and their role in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, inflammatory conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, it examines the role of miRNA as an epigenetic drug in treating cancer and in-silico approaches to epigenetic drug discovery. The book uncovers the potential of epigenetic drug discovery, including insights into traditional medicine, marine sources, and OMICS technologies. Moreover, it explores the interplay between gut microbiota, probiotics, and prebiotics in epigenetic therapeutic approaches. With a focus on personalized medicine and recent advancements in drug delivery systems, this book is intended for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical professionals seeking to explore epigenetic drug discovery and development.
