Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside describes the increasing knowledge of the science of epigenetics, in which the expression of genes is altered by small chemical additions to various parts of the genome. The book describes the field in depth, it describes the epigenetic processes that are associated with biological sex and environmental interaction to create the singularity of each person’s unique phenotype. The book also studies the effect of ancestors’ environmental knowledge on subsequent generations via the specific transmission of environmental-induced epigenetic changes.

Here, international experts in the field discuss the common physiology of both sexes, as well as the experience of disease, there are also chapters on the microbiome, cancer, mental illness, and aging of the oocytes, among other topics.

Investigates the effect of biological sex and gender on the expression of genes via epigenetic mechanisms, and its association with human biology and disease.

Discusses the current state of our knowledge regarding the way environmental experience is transferred to subsequent generations in a specific manner for women.

The chapter’s features include contributions from international experts in the field.
