Great expectations - Epigenetics and the meandering path from bench to bedside.

Biomedical journal - 1 Jun 2016

Häfner Sophia J, Lund Anders H

Abstract excerpt

Making quick promises of major biomedical breakthroughs based on exciting discoveries at the bench is tempting. But the meandering path from fundamental science to life-saving clinical applications can be fraught with many hurdles. Epigenetics, the study of potentially heritable changes of gene function without modification of the underlying DNA sequence, has dominated the biological research field during the...
