About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to cover the knowledge of recent advancements in epigenetics to cancer and cardiovascular disease development. We expect this knowledge to shed light on how cancer and CVD progression and ultimately enable novel therapies and reduce potential side effects. In addition, we hope this Research Topic will stimulate discussion among the leading scientists in epigenetics and create a compendium to understand cancer and cardiovascular disease development.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini-reviews, Opinions, Methods, and Perspective articles that cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
•The interaction of epigenetics in cancer progression.
•The interaction of epigenetics in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer.
•The interaction of epigenetics in the development of the cardiovascular system.
•The interaction of epigenetics in cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemia, remodelling.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be involved at least two epigenetics processes, as defined in their mission statements.
Keywords: Epigenetics, DNA methylation, RNA methylation, chromatin modifications, non-coding RNAs, micro-RNA, Cancer, cardiovascular, development
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
