Can Structural Variations be Therapeutically Targeted?

Yes, understanding structural variations can lead to targeted therapies. For example:
- Cancer Treatment: By identifying abnormal structural changes in cancerous tissues, specific therapies can be developed to target these changes.
- Regenerative Medicine: Knowledge of structural variations in stem cells can aid in developing treatments to regenerate damaged tissues.
- Drug Development: Understanding how drugs affect tissue structure can help in designing more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
