Identifying Cancer Genes’ Multiple Personalities
|
|

|
|
A new method using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 has been developed to model liver cancer tumor subtypes caused by mutations in the same genes. By targeting a single section of the mouse gene, Ctnnb1, researchers were able to produce two distinct tumor subtypes, enhancing protein activity to promote tumor growth, which could allow for the development of new therapeutic interventions in the future...
