How is CRISPR technology being utilized in cancer therapy?
The revolutionary CRISPR gene-editing technology is being harnessed to develop novel cancer therapies. By enabling precise modifications to the DNA of cancer cells, CRISPR can be used to disrupt genes that promote cancer growth or to enhance the expression of genes that suppress tumors. This technology also holds potential for creating more effective CAR-T cell therapies, which involve modifying a patient's T cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells.
