Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Clinical Epigenetics focuses on the role of epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation and histone modifications, in human health and disease. The journal publishes research on the use of epigenetic markers for disease prediction, diagnosis, and therapeutic targeting across various conditions including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancers. Studies also explore the impact of environmental factors and lifestyle on epigenetic profiles and their implications for aging and disease progression.
