CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we ...

Since 2019, MIT researchers have published a new concept called prime editing, which is more precise than regular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. As a result, it has fewer off-target effects and less chance ...

Buildup of acidic byproducts in pancreatic tumors alleviates the effects of other environmental stresses and aids the cancer.

Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful metabolic products constantly stress cancer cells.

On June 28, 2012, the most significant scientific breakthrough of the first quarter of the 21st century was announced to the ...

Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful metabolic products constantly stress cancer cells. A research team from the ...

The researchers were able to show that the acidic pH value triggers profound changes in the mitochondria. Normally, they are ...
