Role of epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of chronic respiratory diseases and response to inhaled exposures: From basic concepts to clinical applications
18 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic modifications are chemical groups in our DNA (and chromatin) that determine which genes are active and which are shut off. Importantly, they integrate environmental signals to direct cellular function. Upon chronic environmental exposures, the epigenetic signature of lung cells gets altered, triggering aberrant gene expression programs that can lead to the development of chronic lung diseases. In...
