The BSTP’s 34th Annual Scientific Meeting will, this year, be held jointly with the British Toxicology Society (BTS) and will cover the topic of emergent epigenetic therapies. Recently we have seen an explosion of discoveries related to the cellular regulation of phenotypes through epigenetic mechanisms. As epigenetic changes are reversible, this offers the potential for epigenetic therapies based on cellular reprogramming (e.g. cancer, neuro degenerative disease), with further opportunities in the detection of microRNAs (e.g. blood, exhaled air) and their…
