In the April issue of the magazine Science The results of a study were published by scientists who said that they could stop the development of cancer by editing genes. New York Post.
Researchers believe that using a technology called CRISPR, the treatment of tumors will be more effective and less harmful to the body.
This method is still in development, but scientists have already been able to edit the protein that causes cell division in isolated cervical and kidney cancer cells. Which, in turn, slows the growth of cancer.
In another study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology In early April, researchers found that CRISPR technology can alter cancer fusion genes, reducing tumors caused by prostate cancer.
This technique works by removing mutated DNA in cancer cells and replacing it with a gene that kills unhealthy cells.
