This volume provides an integrated overview of how DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodelling, non‑coding RNAs and epitranscriptomic regulation influence the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCovering a broad spectrum of conditions—including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, prion and prion‑like diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis—the book examines how epigenetic alterations interact with genetic, metabolic and environmental factors to drive disease pathology. Contributors detail advances in biomarker development, such as DNA methylation profiles, differentially methylated and hydroxymethylated regions, extracellular vesicles and neurofilament light chain, along with emerging therapeutic strategies involving CRISPR‑based epigenetic editing, histone deacetylase inhibitors and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional chapters explore cross‑disease themes including neuroinflammatory signalling, gut–brain epigenetic interactions, chromatin dynamics and ageing‑related epigenetic drift, offering insights into translational research and precision medicine.

Professor Rasime Kalkan completed her PhD in the Department of Medical Genetics at the Eskisehir Osmangazi University in Turkey. She served as a member of the Department of Medical Genetics at Near East University from November 2011 to June 2022. She served as Chair of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in the Arts and Sciences Faculty at Near East University (2020–2022). She has been a member of the Turkish Medical Genetics Association since 2006. She worked on genetic and epigenetic alterations in brain tumours, especially in glioblastoma, during her PhD. She has edited books and journals, published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals, and authored several chapters for various national and international books. She served as a project coordinator on many research projects. Her research is focused on the identification of epigenetic and genetic alterations in cancer, obesity, hypertension and post-menopausal term.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032225771\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e542\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412101386380,"sku":"9783032225771","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032225771.jpg?v=1780594670","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032225771","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
