Therapeutic Targeting of Methylation

Therapeutic targeting of methylation involves modifying how certain genes are turned on or off in our cells. Methylation is a chemical process that can silence genes, affecting cell behavior and potentially contributing to diseases like cancer. By using drugs to alter these methylation patterns, researchers aim to restore normal gene function, encouraging healthy cell growth and activity. This approach offers a promising avenue for treating various diseases by addressing the underlying changes in gene regulation that can drive illness.
