Epigenetic changes, like DNA methylation and histone modification, make how our DNA works a lot more complex.

These changes can switch genes on or off, which can upset normal cell activities.

Challenges:

• Complex Interactions: It’s tough to figure out how all these different changes work together.
• Variability: Everyone’s epigenetic patterns are different, and this can lead to different results. This makes research and treatment tricky.
• Reversibility Issues: It can be very challenging to target and change back the epigenetic modifications.

Potential Solutions:

• Advancements in Technology: Creating precise editing tools, like CRISPR, for these epigenetic changes could help us learn more.
• Comprehensive Studies: Long-term studies can help us better understand how epigenetics work in different situations.
