New ROOT method charts a path to reversing biological changes once thought irreversible
Researchers at KAIST have developed a method called ROOT to identify and control molecular circuits that cause irreversible cell-state transitions. This technology could potentially help restore abnormal cells, such as cancer cells, to their original healthy state.
Why it matters
This breakthrough offers a new approach to treating diseases characterized by irreversible cellular changes, potentially opening doors for novel medical therapies.
