Epigenetics for Intermediate
Summary
You are about to develop an insider understanding of epigenetics, including their relationship with the DNA, environmental factors, human development, and evolution; their role in human mental and physical health, including their use in the treating of different conditions and diseases along with the most current epigenetic practices and research! What started as a broad research focused on combining genetics and developmental biology during the mid-20th century has evolved into the field we currently refer to as epigenetics - the mechanism of gene control that can either promote or repress gene expression without altering the genetic coding of the organism. Today, we know that the environment factors and individual lifestyles can have a direct interaction with epigenetic change, which can be reflected at various stages throughout the life of an individual and even in the later generations. You’ve heard that a mother’s exposure to pollution can affect her child’s asthma susceptibility, haven’t you? No? How about the argument that a child’s mental fitness can be (epigenetically) influenced by his/her dad’s diet? Epigenetic change, which has nothing to do with the changes to the underlying DNA sequence, does affect how cells read genes and this biological change is influenced by several factors which include environment, lifestyle, and health state through a mechanisms including a popular one known as DNA methylation. But what is the relationship between the epigenetic change and physical and physiological conditions as regards to their onset and improvement? How are epigenetic modifications being used to understand our environment, society and increasing human adaptation? How exactly do epigenetic therapies work? How does DNA affect epigenetic changes? How can we exploit epigenetic mechanisms to understand life better and improve it? If you have these and other related questions, this audiobook is for you. More precisely, you will learn: What epigenetics are and their role in developmental psychology The influence of epigenetics at the molecular level and the impact of DNA damage in epigenetic change How epigenetics are studied The functions and consequences of epigenetics, and their specific benefits in mindfulness training, healthy eating and physical activity How genes control the growth and division of cells The role of epigenetic therapy in diabetic retinopathy, emotional disorders, cardiac dysfunction, cancer and schizophrenia and many more How epigenetic modifications are used in cancer treatment, and plant and animal evolution How epigenetic mechanisms are used in processes including human adaptation, memory formation, growth and infant neuro-behavior. How epigenetic mechanisms are used in maternal care How environmental chemical exposures affect epigenetics The role of epigenetics in neurodegenerative diseases, drug formation, human development, the development of Hox genes and many more The role of environmental exposures in pathophysiology of IPF Modulation of epigenetic marks by environmental exposures How epigenetic regulation affects the immune system And so much more! So if you’ve been exposed to the concept of epigenetics as a novel way of understanding disorders, inheritance, and evolution, and wondered what it’s really all about and how it’s related with environmental exposure and different therapy practices, this audiobook is all you need!

Epigenetics for Beginners
Summary
You are a step away from opening your eyes and mind to the world of epigenetics in a manner that will help you appreciate the complexity of the human cell, genes, and other components and how that knowledge is being applied in transforming lives! In the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944 - 1945, the individuals who were exposed to the famine just before birth were seen, about 60 years later, to have increased rates of coronary heart disease and obesity compared to those who weren’t exposed to the famine. That must been a result of an alteration in their genetic coding, right? No. Apparently, they were found to have less DNA methylation (addition of methyl groups to the DNA molecule to change a segment without affecting the DNA’s sequence) of the imprinted Insulin-like Growth Factor-2 gene compared to their siblings who had not been exposed, which shows the role of a powerful factor that doesn’t require the change of the genetic sequence in organisms in development and evolution. That factor is epigenetics and has been singled out by experts as a very important factor in evolution, yet it's so underestimated in modern biology. But how is this process organized and controlled in the human body? How is it being used to advance human health? What are some of the innovative ways we benefit from it, perhaps harness its power to improve chronic diseases and conditions? Are there any risks in epigenetic therapy? How does epigenetics work at the most basic level? If you have these questions now or have been having them before you landed here, then you are at the right place. This book answers these and many more questions to give you an insight into a mechanism that has become of central importance in modern-day genetics research in the most straightforward, simple, and comprehensive way. The aim is to see how gene expression can successfully be altered without touching the DNA sequence, what that means for the resultant expression of traits, and how this phenomenon can be tapped in understanding life and improving it. Here’s a bit of what you’ll find in this concise book: What epigenetics is and how it works Why epigenetics is important and how it relates with our experiences The basics of body cells, including what cells really are and how they divide The ins and outs of DNA, genes, and chromosomes How epigenetics are conceptualized today The existing evidence of epigenetic changes within indirect epigenetics, across indirect epigenetics, and in transgenerational epigenetic inheritance The mechanisms of epigenetics and methodological insights How epigenetic therapy is used to treat mesothelioma The types of epigenetic therapies available today The risks, benefits, and research on epigenetic therapy How epigenetic control affects transcriptional regulation in pluripotency and early differentiation, DNA methylation and demethylation, nucleosome remodeling, and chromatin looping The impact of epigenetic changes in diabetes and cardiovascular risk And much more! Even if you are completely new to genetics or epigenetics in particular, this book will be useful and valuable to you even if everything sounds like complex/advanced science because the book takes a beginner-friendly approach to the topic.

Epigenetics Explained
Summary
You are about to develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept of epigenetics, its place in modern-day medicine and health optimization, and why it is literally changing how we approach the treatment of various health problems! Modern research has now confirmed that the behavior of your genes doesn’t always depend on their DNA sequence, but also on factors referred to epigenetics, and that changes in these factors can play a critical role in disease, life structures, behavior, and all aspects of life. And that’s not all; research also shows that therapies based on these factors have proven effective in reversing some conditions, boosting the immune system, optimizing psychology, and human adaptation. Epigenetics have thus taken the center stage in understanding human biology at a deeper level, life, and evolution. But what are epigenetics, and how to they work? How does the environment affect them, and how is this “remembered” in the body? How does epigenetic therapy work? What does it treat? Isn’t it risky? What is the relationship between epigenetics and the human psychology? How can we benefit from the discovery and understanding of epigenetics? If you have these and other related questions, this two-in-one audiobook is for you, so keep reading. Here is a bit of what you’ll learn from this two in one audiobook: What epigenetics are, why they’re important, and how they work How epigenetics relate with our experiences How cells divide, and how genes control the growth and division of cells The difference between the DNA, gene, and chromosomes The existing evidence of epigenetic changes, including in transgenerational epigenetic inheritance The ins and outs of epigenetics mechanisms The types of epigenetic therapies available today, including their risks, benefits, and research on them The effect of epigenetic control in transcriptional regulation in pluripotency and early differentiation, DNA methylation and demethylation, nucleosome remodeling, and chromatin looping How epigenetics work at the molecular level and the effect of DNA damage in epigenetic change The functions of epigenetics, and how they boost mindfulness training, healthy eating, and exercise How epigenetic therapy and modifications affects diabetic retinopathy, emotional disorders, cardiac dysfunction, cancer and schizophrenia, mesothelioma, and many more How epigenetic modifications are used in understanding plant and animal evolution How epigenetic mechanisms are used in understanding human adaptation, boosting memory formation, growth, and reinforcing infant neurobehavior.
