《Epigenetics in Cancer》由JUNJIANG FU、 SABER IMANI著。
As the second leading cause of death, cancer has casted an overwhelming shadow on millions of life worldwide. Everyone is affected in some way, if not by having the disease themselves, then by witnessing it in friends or loved ones. The book titled Epigenetics in Cancer, addresses the importance of fighting cancers with an epigenetics approach. Specifically, the following topics are reviewed: (1) DNA methylation and cancer; (2) Non-coding RNAs in cancer; (3) Epigenetics in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer; (4) Epigenetic effects of environmental and dietary factors in cancer. The book also includes a chapter that provides short but practical protocols widely used in epigenetics research. Finally, it provides insight into future directions in cancer epigenetics research. Thus, this book covers a wide range of topics, from general mechanisms of cancer epigenetics to cancer therapy. This book to be helpful to improve their understanding of epigenetics and cancer who are interested in cancer epigenetics and the development of anticancer drugs at various levels, including students in medical and biological fields, postdoctoral fellows, university researchers, and/or educators.

這本書的封麵設計有一種深邃而引人入勝的感覺,深藍色的背景搭配著抽象的DNA雙螺鏇結構,仿佛預示著即將展開的關於生命奧秘的探索。我一直對“錶觀遺傳學”這個概念充滿好奇,總覺得它像一把能夠解鎖我們基因組潛能的鑰匙。盡管我對其中的具體內容尚未深入瞭解,但光是這本書的標題就足以激起我強烈的求知欲。我常常想象,在那些錯綜復雜的分子機製背後,隱藏著怎樣的故事,它如何影響著我們最基本的生命過程,又如何與那些我們最害怕的疾病——癌癥——緊密相連。這本書的齣現,讓我覺得終於有瞭一個可以係統性地理解這個領域的窗口。我希望它能夠以一種既嚴謹又不失趣味的方式,引導我走進錶觀遺傳學的世界,讓我不僅僅是作為一個旁觀者,更能體會到其中蘊含的科學之美。或許,我會在閱讀中發現,那些看似無形的基因調控,纔是生命畫捲中不可或缺的色彩,而理解這些色彩的疊加與變化,能夠讓我們對健康與疾病有更深刻的認識。
評分我最近收到一本名為《Epigenetics in Cancer》的書,這讓我倍感驚喜。雖然我不是癌癥研究領域的專傢,但我一直對生物醫學的最新進展非常關注,尤其是那些能夠帶來突破性理解和治療方法的領域。錶觀遺傳學聽起來就充滿瞭神秘感,它似乎超越瞭傳統遺傳學的範疇,揭示瞭基因錶達調控的更深層機製。我設想這本書能夠為我提供一個清晰的框架,讓我理解錶觀遺傳學的基本原理,以及這些原理是如何在癌癥的發生、發展和治療中發揮作用的。我期待它能解釋諸如DNA甲基化、組蛋白修飾等關鍵概念,並提供具體的案例分析,說明這些錶觀遺傳學的變化是如何導緻細胞失控,最終形成腫瘤的。此外,我也希望書中能夠探討當前錶觀遺傳學在癌癥治療方麵的應用,例如錶觀遺傳藥物的開發前景,以及它們可能帶來的新希望。這本書不僅僅是一本學術著作,更像是一扇通往未來醫學的窗戶,讓我得以窺見那些改變我們對抗疾病方式的可能性。
評分作為一名對生命科學充滿好奇的普通讀者,這本書的題目《Epigenetics in Cancer》無疑是一次令人興奮的學術邂逅。我一直以來都對那些不直接改變DNA序列,卻能深刻影響基因功能的“幕後推手”深感著迷。錶觀遺傳學,這個充滿魔力的詞匯,總讓我聯想到基因錶達的精妙調控,以及這些調控如何在我們體內微妙地發生著。我猜想,這本書一定能為我揭示,當這些精妙的調控失衡時,那些我們最為恐懼的疾病——癌癥,是如何乘虛而入的。我希望它能夠用生動形象的語言,解釋那些復雜的分子過程,讓我明白,為什麼相同的基因在不同的細胞中會錶現齣截然不同的命運,又為什麼這些“錶觀遺傳標記”的錯誤,會成為癌細胞生長的溫床。更重要的是,我期待這本書能夠讓我看到希望,看到科學傢們如何利用對錶觀遺傳學的深刻理解,去尋找對抗癌癥的新方法,甚至可能治愈那些曾經看似無藥可救的疾病。
評分這本書的名字《Epigenetics in Cancer》瞬間點燃瞭我對科學的求知欲。我一直對那些超越基因序列本身的生命調控機製充滿興趣,而錶觀遺傳學恰恰是其中最令人著迷的領域之一。我曾聽說,它就像是為我們的基因組提供瞭一套“注釋”和“編輯”係統,決定瞭哪些基因應該被“閱讀”,哪些應該被“靜默”。當這本書將這一概念與我們最棘手的健康難題——癌癥聯係起來時,我感到它蘊藏著巨大的潛力。我非常期待這本書能夠為我解釋,究竟是什麼樣的錶觀遺傳學改變,能夠讓原本正常的細胞走上失控的道路,最終演變成惡性腫瘤。我希望它能深入淺齣地介紹DNA甲基化、組蛋白修飾以及染色質重塑等關鍵機製,並展示這些機製在癌癥的發生、發展、轉移以及對治療的反應中扮演的角色。這本書不僅僅是一次學術的探索,更是一次對生命本質的追問,是對我們如何理解和對抗疾病的一次深刻洞察,讓我對未來醫學的發展充滿瞭期待。
評分這本書的齣現,恰好滿足瞭我長期以來對基因調控機製的探求。我一直認為,我們對DNA序列的理解固然重要,但真正能夠決定生命形態和功能的,是那些決定基因“何時”、“何地”以及“如何”錶達的復雜網絡。錶觀遺傳學正是描繪這個網絡的關鍵學科。這本書的名字《Epigenetics in Cancer》立刻吸引瞭我,因為癌癥是我們這個時代最嚴峻的健康挑戰之一,而如果錶觀遺傳學能夠揭示其發生發展的核心秘密,那麼無疑將為我們開闢新的防治途徑。我期待書中能夠深入淺齣地介紹錶觀遺傳學的核心概念,比如DNA甲基化、組蛋白修飾、非編碼RNA等,並重點闡述它們在癌癥發生、腫瘤微環境、轉移以及治療抵抗等過程中的具體作用。我希望這本書能夠提供前沿的研究進展,同時也能引導我思考,如何利用這些知識來開發更有效的診斷工具和治療策略。它不僅僅是一本關於癌癥的書,更是一本關於生命“指令”的書,而這些指令,往往比我們基因的“硬件”本身更具決定性。
