Real-time perturbation has several important applications in cancer therapy:
- Drug Screening: It allows for the rapid screening of potential drugs by observing their immediate effects on cancer cells, thereby accelerating the drug discovery process. - Understanding Drug Resistance: By monitoring how cancer cells adapt to therapies in real-time, researchers can uncover mechanisms of drug resistance and develop strategies to overcome it. - Personalized Medicine: This approach can be used to tailor treatments to individual patients by observing how their specific cancer cells respond to different therapies, leading to more effective and personalized treatment plans.
