Unraveling Cell Differentiation and Epigenetics
This chapter investigates how diverse cell types emerge from a single genome through the processes of cell differentiation and epigenetic regulation. It highlights the pivotal role of chromatin structure, DNA accessibility, and histone modifications in governing gene expression, particularly in neurons. Furthermore, the chapter examines the interplay between cellular energy and gene transcription, underscoring the need for ongoing research to elucidate these complex relationships.
