Full Description
Cancer Epigenetics and Nanomedicine: Targeting the Right Player via Nanotechnology is a complete package that provides a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the key players that modulate the various steps of carcinogenesis and malignant progression of the disease and the critical targets to be exploited for developing novel modalities of diagnosis and therapeutics.
Since epigenetic aberrations can be potentially reversed and restored to their normal state through epigenetic therapy, the book also discusses the challenges and the future of the field with the cutting-edge revelations and limitations that this research endeavor can offer, thereby helping the readers to enhance their critical thinking and adopt strategies of therapeutic importance.
