framework for the discovery and characterization of similar epigenetic enzymes or modulators. Chapter one serves as an introductory overview, providing insights into the general characteristics and functions of lysine demethylases. In subsequent chapters, specifically chapters two to eight, each major family of lysine demethylases is individually explored in depth. By providing in-depth insights into the functional aspects of these enzymes, the book allows readers to grasp their significance in regulating cellular processes and influencing pathogenesis. Moreover, the book goes beyond fundamental knowledge and also explores the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies related to lysine demethylases. It highlights the potential for utilizing these enzymes as therapeutic targets for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases. Additionally, the book highlights future directions aimed at further unraveling the roles of lysine demethylases and translating these findings into the clinic. |
