Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine: Unraveling the Role of Epigenetics in Human Physiology

Authored by the renowned Marianne J. Legato, M.D., Ph.D. (hon c), F.A.C.P., the fourth edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine continues the mission to explore the significance of biological sex in human function and disease. This edition delves into the latest advances in understanding the dynamic role of epigenetics in regulating gene expression, offering a comprehensive insight into the complex interplay between sex-specific physiology and therapeutics.

Breaking New Ground in Biomedicine

The third edition, which won the prestigious 2018 Prose Award in Clinical Medicine, introduced exciting areas in biomedicine that integrated technology into disease treatment and human function augmentation. The fourth edition takes this further, examining the protean role of epigenetics in human physiology, the impact of environmental experience on human function, and the therapeutic promise of cutting-edge methodologies like gene manipulation.

The Future of Human Function and Disease Treatment

This edition also explores the preparation of humans for space travel, the application of artificial intelligence in disease detection and therapeutic decisions, and the possibilities for technological support of compromised individuals and human function augmentation. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth analysis of the benefits, limitations, and issues surrounding personalized medicine.

In this comprehensive, 930-page hardcover, Dr. Legato presents the latest findings in the post-genomic era, where the investigation of how the genome produces the phenome has led to fascinating insights and yet unanswered questions. Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine, Fourth Edition is a seminal work that will shape the future of biomedical research, disease treatment, and human function enhancement.
