Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) From Biological Basis to Clinical Significance /

This book addresses the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD), a new medical concept that demonstrates that various adult diseases start in the fetal period. It discusses our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of DOHaD, including gene body epigenetics and non-coding RNA,...
