Cancer Epigenetics
Cancer epigenetics is the study of changes that occur in the activity of genes without altering the genetic code. It has become an area of significant research in cancer biology, as these changes may cause the cells to behave in a way that promotes the development and growth of cancer. Epigenetic alterations can affect the expression of genes, influencing how cells respond to their environment and, ultimately, how tumors behave. Understanding the epigenetic changes that occur in cancer can provide opportunities for developing new treatments and diagnostics, as well as a greater understanding of cancer development and progression.
