Summary:

Epigenetics in Biological Communication is the first book that integrates Development, Signaling, Context, Genetics and Evolution. Every cell, tissue, organ and organism is competent to use signals to exchange information reaching common coordinations and organisations of both single cell and group behavior. These signal-mediated interactions we term biological communication (biocommunication). The regulatory system that works in development, morphology, cell fate and identity, physiology, genetic instructions, immunity, memory/learning, physical and mental disease depends on epigenetic marks. The communication of cells, persistent viruses and their defectives such as mobile genetic elements and RNA networks ensures both the transport of regulatory instructions and the reprogramming of these instructions. But how are the different states of the epigenome orchestrated? With the emergence of epigenetic memory, organisms can fix historical and context- dependent impressive experiences. Evolution from now on learnt to learn. Learning means organisms can avoid reproduction of always the same. This is key to adaptation. However, inheritance of acquired characteristics is only one of the many examples of the explanatory power of epigenetics. Behavioral epigenetics demonstrates the way in which environmental and social experiences produce individual differences in behavior, cognition, personality, and mental health. This book assembles leading experts to outline the various motifs of epigenetic regulation of cellular life.
