Epigenetic Mechanisms at the Crossroads of Development, Immune Response, and Neuropathology offers an in-depth exploration of how epigenetic mechanisms shape neural development, immune interactions, and disease progression in the central nervous system. This interdisciplinary volume synthesizes current knowledge across neuroscience, immunology, and pathology, addressing the critical need for integrated frameworks that connect molecular regulation with clinical outcomes. The book covers foundational epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, illustrating their roles in neural differentiation, circuit formation, and brain plasticity. It further examines how environmental factors influence epigenetic landscapes, impacting resilience and vulnerability to neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. The volume also delves into the epigenetic drivers of neuropathologies including glioblastoma, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration, highlighting emerging therapeutic strategies. With contributions from leading international experts, this resource bridges basic science and translational research, providing valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and advanced students seeking to understand and target complex CNS disorders.
