Computational Modelling Approaches on Epigenetic Factors in Neurodegenerative and Autoimmune Diseases and Their Mechanistic Analysis

Figure 1

(a) Statistics over scientific publications around epigenetics related neurodegenerative (AD and PD), autoimmune diseases and other diseases using PubMed with queries ((“Parkinson’s disease”) AND epigenetics), ((“Alzheimer’s disease”) AND epigenetics), and ((“Multiple Sclerosis”) AND epigenetics), last accessed on 7/20/2015. In (a), blue, green, and orange coloured bars represent the total number of publications, for AD, PD, and MS, respectively. (b) This figure illustrates the trend of research on other diseases around epigenetics compared to NDD (AD and PD) and autoimmune (MS) disease, where green coloured portion representing the studies on all sorts of diseases and blue portion covers only AD, PD, and MS related researches.
