Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: Unraveling the Complexities of Gene Expression

The fascinating realm of epigenetics has led to a significant expansion of our understanding of how gene expression is modified through small chemical additions to various components of the genome. In the book “Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside,” renowned experts Marianne Legato J M.D. PhD (hon c), Dov Feldberg MD, and Marek Glezerman delve into the intricate relationships between biological sex, environmental experience, and epigenetic modifications.

The Epigenetic Phenomenon: Uniting Biological Sex and Environmental Experience

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field, highlighting the epigenetic phenomena that unite biological sex and environmental experience to create the unique phenome of each individual. This pioneering work explores how ancestors’ environmental experiences impact subsequent generations through the sex-specific transmission of environmentally induced epigenetic modifications.

International Experts Unite: Exploring the Frontiers of Epigenetics

Featuring contributions from international leaders in the field, the book examines both sex-specific normal physiology and the experience of disease. Chapters dedicated to fetal programming, the microbiome, cancer, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, embryogenesis, and oocyte aging, among other topics, offer unparalleled insights into the complex interplay between epigenetics, sex, and gender.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Epigenetic Mechanisms

By examining the impact of biological sex and gender on gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, the book sheds light on the intricate relationships between human biology and disease. This groundbreaking work presents the current state of our understanding of how environmental experience is translated to future generations in a sex-specific manner.
