CRISPR enzyme precisely detects and shreds DNA in cancer mutations once considered 'undruggable'
In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA by cutting it at specific locations. Six years later, a new ...
'Molecular eraser' destroys cancerous mRNA before protein forms, reshaping cancer cells
Many of the deadliest forms of cancer are caused by a pathological mutation in the RAS protein. Yet, to date, no effective treatment for this cancer protein has been found. A new research approach aims to prevent the protein ...
