Very early...EXTREMELY powerful, CRISPR does it again

As stated, quite early, extremely advanced and powerful...scientists have used the gene editing tool CRISPR to silence cancer-causing gene mutations that were previously untreatable with targeted drugs.

The CRISPR-Cas13 system in this study shows high precision by targeting only cancer-causing mutations while leaving healthy cells untouched. By making small changes to the CRISPR guide RNA, scientists were able to selectively silence faulty genes. This method could lead to personalized cancer treatments based on a person's unique genetics.

Unlike traditional drugs, it reduces side effects by avoiding damage to healthy cells and offers a safer, more effective way to treat aggressive cancers.
