Early Life Epigenetics, a new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, provides an overview of early life epigenetics across reproductive medicine, embryology, immunology, metabolic processes, endocrinology, neuroscience, genetic psychology, and psychiatry. Mechanisms, methods, biological systems, and the clinical relevance of these findings are addressed in-depth by global experts in the field. In offering a unique, interdisciplinary perspective, this volume combines epigenetics of embryonic development and cell differentiation with findings from social and environmental epigenetics, as well as biological psychiatry. Here, discussion of early life epigenetics integrates cell studies and epidemiological data, timelines of epigenetic change, intervention and longitudinal studies of the long-term impact of environmental influences in early life, opening pathways for development of personalized therapeutics and new preventative measures.
