Presenting up-to-date research on the relationship between nutrition and the evolving field of epigenetics, this work takes a close look at current findings and the potential impact of this research on our understanding of aging, embryonic growth, and the development of cancer. With the aid of numerous color illustrations and photographs, it effectively describes how nutrients modulate physiologic and pathologic processes. Providing a starting point for further research, it covers a range of cutting-edge topics that include current findings on DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling. It also details methods to measure epigenetic phenomena.
