Transcription and Translation in Health and Disease provides a detailed overview of the regulators underlying transcription and translation in relation to a variety of human diseases and disorders. Beginning with an introduction into the current perspectives relating to these processes in human disease, the book expands to focus on specific mechanisms underlying conditions such as arthritis, cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This book considers RNA processing and related mechanisms in eukaryotes including RNA splicing, RNA binding proteins, RNA interference, micro RNAs, RNA editing, transcription factors, RNAi screening, CRISPR activation, CRISPR-Cas9 interference, and post-translational modifications. It provides a structured and detailed overview of the various regulators underlying molecular processes and their impact on health and disease, equipping readers with the necessary knowledge for further investigation in the areas of treatment and therapeutic intervention. – Discusses the role played by transcription and translational regulation in various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and neurological disease- Considers a range of post-transcriptional regulators, including RNA-binding proteins, non-coding RNAs, epigenetic modifiers, alternative splicing and telomerase-binding proteins- Covers the topic from fundamental knowledge to the latest developments in clinical application- Includes a section dedicated to therapeutic applications
