Scientists Revive Old Synthetic DNA Approach to Target Cancer Genes
Original: Scientists Revive Decades-Old Approach to Target Cancer-Linked Genes Using Synthetic DNA | Newswise
Researchers are reviving a decades-old technique that uses synthetic DNA to target genes linked to cancer, according to a report published via Newswise. The approach, first explored years ago, is being reconsidered as a possible way to silence or correct cancer-associated genetic activity. Details on the specific institutions, genes, or trial results involved have not been disclosed, and reaction from the wider scientific community is not yet documented.
Why now: News of a revived genetic technique for targeting cancer-linked genes is drawing attention amid growing interest in DNA-based therapeutics.
