Non-coding DNA—the 98% of our...
by Duke University Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain For too long, cancer treatment has been a double-edged sword—the very treatments designed to kill cancer cells often wrought havoc on healthy ones too. But a new study published online Oct. 30 in Immunity unveils an approach to cancer treatment that researchers describe as more precise, long-lasting, and less...
INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN BIOMEDICINE (IRB BARCELONA) Mutations occur in various tissues and organs of an individual. Somatic mutations occur in cells that will not give rise to offspring and are therefore not passed on to subsequent generations. Caused by a large number of factors such as age and smoking, somatic mutations are the main...
GOETHE UNIVERSITY FRANKFURT FRANKFURT. Cancer and many other diseases are based on genetic defects. The body can often compensate for the defect of one gene; it is only the combination of several genetic errors that leads to the clinical picture. The 3Cs multiplex technique based on CRISPR-Cas technology developed at Goethe University Frankfurt now offers...
