Bacterial epigenetics opens door to novel frontier in Infection biology

Impact of epigenetics on human health and possible tool for remediation

“…In the present collection, Ghosh Roy has discussed about how wide range of diseases like cardiovascular, renal and gastrointestinal disorders to cancers like glioblastoma and neurodegenerative diseases; related to autophagy can be understood in the light of miRNA [47]. Similarly, lncRNA have been implicated in maintaining key chromatin architectural features, leading to regulation of chromatin dynamics including aspects like dosage compensation as in X chromosome inactivation, pluripotency, heterochromatin maintenance [5,14,15,18,40]. In this present issue, Heyt et al [21] have highlighted these aspects with special emphasis and comparison of research findings in various model systems.…”
