Aurkezpena
Ongietorri Epigenetika Laborategiaren web-orrira. Duela gutxi arte, epigenetika gai ilun gisa ikusten zen biologia zelularraren eremuan, eta oraindik gehiago minbiziaren inguruko ikerkuntzan. Ikertzaile “serioek” susmurrez eta zuhurtziaz begiratzen zuten. Gaur egun, ikertzaile horiek berak arlo honetan bete-betean sartu dira. Bibliografia-bilaketa bat eginez gero, gai honi buruzko artikuloen hazkunde esponentzialaz ohar gaitezke. Bi aurkikuntza nagusi izan dira boom honen erantzule: batetik, tumore-supresore gene nagusienek minbiziaren zeluletan jasaten duten transkripzio-isiltzea, bere promotore-eskualdean kokaturiko CpG irlen hipermetilazioaren ondorio dela aurkitzea; bestetik, histonek jasan ditzaketen aldaketa kimikoek geneen espresioarengan duten eraginaren ezagutza. Oinarrizko bi aurkikuntza hauetatik abiatuz, arloa ondorengo norabideetan zabalduz joan da: epigenetikan partehartze zuzena duten gainontzeko eragileen karakterizazioa (halanola DNA metiltransferasak, metil-CpG-etara lotzen diren proteinak, histona desazetilasak, histona metiltransferasak, kromatinaren erremodelazio-faktoreak, …), alterazio epigenetikoek giza-biologian duten eraginaren azterketa (klonazioan, edota Rett sindromea edo ICF gaitza bezalako gaisotasun genetikoetan), eta gaisotasunak tratatzeko terapia epigenetikoen bilaketa, bereziki minbiziaren kasuan desmetilatzaileen eta histona desazetilasen inhibitzaileen erabilera. Jakintzagai gaztea baina potentzial handikoa da epigenetika. Gure web-orria erabilgarri izatea nahi nuke, epigenetikari buruz gehiago ikasteko, gure ikerkuntza-proiektuak jakitera emateko eta zuen iradokizunak eta galderak jaso ahal izateko. Hala izango delakoan,

- Discusses the impact of DNA methylation in human health and disease
- Includes concepts, experimental models, and clinical uses of demethylating agents
- Presents the most current research on the impact of DNA methylation in cancer
- Features the work of the foremost leaders in the field
A guide to understanding the complex regulatory roles of DNA methylation, this volume describes the relation that this biological mechanism has to gene silencing in disease and explores its promising role in treating cancer. DNA Methylation: Approaches, Methods and Applications describes the relation DNA methylation has to gene silencing in disease, and explores its promising role in treating cancer. The author considers research, clinical, and industry perspectives in this growing field, and by synthesizing previously scattered literature, he offers the subject's first organized and cohesive resource and bibliography.
The book is a state-of-the-art reference for understanding the role DNA methylation plays in human disease, particularly cancer. Written by leaders in the field, this exceptional compilation of articles outlines the best techniques to use when addressing questions concerning the cytosine methylation status of genomic DNA. It includes concepts, experimental models, and clinical uses of demethylating agents. The book provides a balance between articles clarifying methodological details and more general review chapters that offer broad biological perspectives on DNA methylation.
Covering fundamental theory, technologies, and applications, DNA Methylation: Approaches Methods, and Applications presents the most current research on using DNA methylation to decipher the pathways involved in human disease. This is an invaluable handbook for researchers and clinicians interested in genetics and molecular biology, particularly epigenetic therapies and gene silencing. |

About this book
This book provides a broad and rich outline of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in cancer progression and the generation of metastasis. It describes the tumor suppressor genes undergoing transcriptional silencing by CpG island promoter hypermethylation in the different tumor types of the human anatomy and their association with tumoral behaviour. It also provides a comprehensive insightful look at the molecular players involved in DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin remodelling complexes causing epigenetic lesions linked to the metastasic phenotypes. Finally, it explains how epigenetic lesions associated with cancer spreading can be targeted using new and potent chemotherapy drugs. The book is a state-of-the-art reference to all scientific researchers and clinicians interested in the understanding of the biological processes leading to tumor dissemination and to those that are keen to translate this knowledge to a better management of cancer patients. Each contributor is a specialist in their epigenetic area and their joint effort has created a unique view of the DNA methylation, histone and chromatin changes that define cancer metastasis. |
