  • Chromatin

    Structure, Function, and History
    • 1st Edition
    • Randall H. Morse
    • English
    Chromatin: Structure, Function, and History brings the reader up to date on the remarkable progress made in chromatin research over the course of the past 50 years. Coverage includes the basics of chromatin biology, beginning with the discoveries that culminated in the recognition of the nucleosome as the basic subunit of chromatin. Chromatin folding, nucleosome positioning, and histone variants are discussed, as well as research on chromatin modifications and remodeling, which exploded in the early to mid-1990s and led to widespread interest in epigenetics. Considerable attention is given to methods and experiments that led to key insights, and recent developments such as the use of genome-wide approaches and innovations in imaging approaches are also emphasized. By providing historical background together with detailed discussion of contemporary studies, the book aims to instill in the reader an appreciation not only of our current knowledge of chromatin structure and function, but also of the remarkable path that has taken chromatin to the forefront of modern research.

    Diabetes Digital Health, Telehealth, and Artificial Intelligence explains how to develop and use the emerging technologies of digital health, telehealth, and artificial intelligence to address this important public health problem to deliver new hardware, software, and processes. The book explores trends in developing and deploying the three most important emerging technologies for diabetes: digital health, telehealth, and artificial intelligence. This book is essential to clinicians, scientists, engineers, industry professionals, regulators, and investors, offering the tools that will be used to create the next generation products to support a precision medicine approach to manage diabetes.According to the CDC, in the US there are 37 million people with diabetes and 96 million people with prediabetes. Diabetes triples the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke and is the leading cause of blindness, end stage renal failure, and amputations. The management of diabetes is becoming increasingly dominated by digital health tools consisting of wearable sensors, mobile applications providing decision support software, and wireless communication tools. Digital health provides new data streams that can be combined to create unique approaches for diabetes based on a precision medicine paradigm.
