Targeting Cancer-Specific Mutations with RNA-Triggered Chromatin Shredding - Nature

Researchers have developed a new method using CRISPR-Cas12a2 to target cancer-specific mutations by shredding chromatin. This approach allows for the precise destruction of cancer cells that were previously considered undruggable.
