Epigenetic therapy

Epigenetic therapy is a medical approach that focuses on changing the way genes are expressed without altering the DNA sequence itself. Our genes can be turned on or off by various factors, including environmental influences and lifestyle choices. In diseases like cancer, some genes that should be active may be silenced, or vice versa. Epigenetic therapies aim to restore the normal function of these genes, helping to treat diseases by using drugs or other methods that target the chemical changes affecting gene expression, potentially improving outcomes and offering new treatment options.
