What Role Does Molecular Cloning Play in Developing Cancer Therapies?
Molecular cloning is instrumental in the development of targeted cancer therapies. By cloning and characterizing genes involved in cancer, researchers can identify specific molecular targets for drug development. For example, cloning the HER2 gene has led to the development of targeted therapies for breast cancer. Similarly, understanding the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in breast and ovarian cancers has paved the way for personalized treatment approaches.
