Epigenetics of the Immune System: A Comprehensive Guide

By Dieter Kabelitz, this book delves into the intricate relationship between epigenetics and the immune system, providing a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that govern this complex interplay.

Understanding the Immune System and Epigenetics

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from infection and disease. Epigenetics, on the other hand, is the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the underlying DNA sequence. This book explores how these two fields intersect and influence each other.

Deciphering Systematically Regulated Mechanisms

Using “omics” and computational biology approaches, this book provides in-depth information on how immune cells serve as a toolbox in deciphering systematically regulated mechanisms. It offers insights into the current status of epigenetics and how it relates to the immune system.

Translational Importance and Therapeutic Applications

The book also discusses the translational importance of epigenetics and the immune system in understanding pathophysiology in diseases and its therapeutic applications. It presents key principles of immune mechanisms in epigenetics, featuring current findings and key principles.

International Contributions and Expert Insights

Featuring in-depth chapter contributions from a wide range of international researchers and specialists in immunology, translational medicine, and epigenetics, this book offers a diverse and comprehensive perspective on the interrelatedness of epigenetics and immunology.

A Unique Interrelatedness

By merging two large areas of research, this book provides a unique understanding of the interrelatedness of epigenetics and immunology, shedding light on the complex interactions between these two fields.

Published by Elsevier Science in June 2020, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and students interested in understanding the intricate relationship between epigenetics and the immune system.
