Overview
- Art Petronis' and Jon Mill's research is dedicated to the understanding of the role of epigenetic risk factors in complex diseases
- Epigenetic processes can explain some of the epidemiological associations between environmental exposure and disease, particularly when the exposure occurs at a critical developmental stage
- Epigenetics, a cellular mechanism once considered to be stable after development, has now been found to be a dynamic process that occurs in fully differentiated, post-mitotic cells of central nervous system in response to environmental signals
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Epigenetics and Human Health (EHH)
