Can Epigenetic Heterogeneity be Targeted Therapeutically?

Targeting epigenetic heterogeneity presents a promising therapeutic avenue. Drugs known as epigenetic modifiers, such as DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors, can alter epigenetic states and potentially reprogram aberrant gene expression profiles. Personalized medicine approaches are also being developed to tailor treatments based on the specific epigenetic landscape of an individual's disease. Understanding and manipulating epigenetic heterogeneity could lead to more effective and less toxic therapies.
