What Are the Recent Advances in Molecular Biology for Cancer Research?
Recent advances in molecular biology have significantly impacted cancer research, including:
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Allows comprehensive analysis of cancer genomes to identify mutations and other genetic alterations. - CRISPR-Cas9: A genome-editing tool that can modify genes with high precision, offering potential therapeutic applications. - Liquid Biopsies: Non-invasive tests that detect cancer-related genetic material in blood, aiding in early diagnosis and monitoring.
