Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue builds from the 2020 issue on the topic of “Epigenetics and Disease.” Epigenetic mechanisms regulate the broad synchronization in patterns of gene expression that ultimately dictate cellular consequences. Aberrations in these epigenetic mechanisms are known to be associated with a range of diseases. This correlation between epigenetic aberrations and disease is the continued focus of this 2021 Special Issue of Diseases. For this issue, we invite papers related to the molecular, cellular, and clinical significance of epigenetic aberrations as well as treatments based on the modulation of epigenetic mechanisms in the clinical management of disease.
Dr. Mark Brown
Guest Editor
