This stimulating volume addresses vital questions about
gene/environment interactions as they affect cell health from the
prenatal period through later life. Beginning with a tour of
epigenetic processes in the human body, the book assembles current
theoretical and empirical developments across the discipline, among
them transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the effects of
maternal nutrition on epigenetic change, and possible links between
epigenetics and childhood obesity. Public health and policy aspects
of the field are discussed in depth, with the understanding that
much can be done to improve our epigenetic health as a species. And
in this vein, contributors consider future possibilities, such as
the reprogramming of genes to reverse cancer and other diseases.
Included in the coverage: The role of environmental epigenetics in
perinatal and neonatal development The epigenetic biomarker H2AX:
from bench science to clinical trials What's the risk? Dental
amalgam, mercury exposure, and human health risks throughout the
lifespan Post-traumatic stress disorder: neurological, genetic, and
epigenetic bases Children's exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and
drugs: long-term outcomes Ethical implications of epigenetics
Epigenetics, the Environment, and Children's Health Across
Lifespans brings real-world knowledge and applications of this
increasingly important field to public health practitioners,
maternal and child health researchers, and environmental health
experts.
