RNA splicing strategy corrects tumor suppressor gene in neuroendocrine cancers.

MedicalXpress, 03/07/2024

Researchers focused on a protein named the RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST), which typically represses certain genes that support neuroendocrine phenotypes. Interestingly, an abnormally spliced form of REST mRNA is expressed at high levels in neuroendocrine tumors...

AI model to improve patient response to cancer therapy.

Eurekalert, 03/07/2024

DeepPT, developed in collaboration with scientists at the National Cancer Institute in America and pharmaceutical company Pangea Biomed, works by predicting a patient’s messenger RNA (mRNA) profile. This mRNA, essential for protein production...

Turning cancer cells against themselves to overcome drug resistance.

News-Medical, 04/07/2024

Researchers created a modular genetic circuit that turns cancer cells into a "Trojan horse," causing them to self-destruct and kill nearby drug-resistant cancer cells. Tested in human cell lines and in mice as proof of concept, the circuit outsmarted a wide range of resistance...
