Histone H4 modification landscape due to chronic alcohol treatment in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs)

The dismal effects of chronic alcohol exposure in the liver, brain, heart and immune system are widely known. In the immune system, alcohol has been shown to modulate inflammation and susceptibility to infections. Many studies have been done with an aim to comprehend adverse effects of alcohol; however, researchers are still trying to elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with alcohol effects. Therefore, studying epigenetic modulations due to alcohol could give us a deeper understanding of its mechanism of action.
