Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We aim to explore the dynamic interplay between epigenetic mechanisms and chronic inflammatory processes. Chronic inflammation underlies a myriad of diseases, altering the epigenetic landscape across various conditions. We are seeking submissions of original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces that delve into how epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression contribute to the initiation, progression, and persistence of chronic inflammation. Contributions might also focus on the potential of epigenetic therapies to modulate inflammatory responses, offering new avenues for therapeutic intervention. By bringing together insights from diverse disciplines, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of the epigenetic foundations of inflammation and stimulate discussions on innovative strategies to manage inflammation across diseases. We invite researchers from molecular biology, immunology, pharmacology, and related fields to share their findings and viewpoints in this critical discourse.
Dr. Baihai Jiao
