Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the epigenetic signatures associated with metabolic health and cancer. These epigenetic signatures are potential companion diagnostic biomarkers, which can aid in the prediction of disease risk or cancer prognosis. We invite articles related to epigenetics in the subject area of diabetes research, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of cancer. Articles related to gene–environment interaction and cancer disease risk prediction will be considered. Understanding and elucidating the molecular signatures and pathways associated with metabolic health recovery and cancer diagnosis/prognosis would be the key purpose of this Special Issue.
Dr. Aparna Duggirala
