"Researchers are also exploring the potential of CRISPR itself as an anticancer treatment. Base and prime editors provide a way to precisely rewrite faulty DNA without cutting it, offering the potential to fix cancer-causing mutations with remarkable accuracy (1077)Xu W, et al. (2024) J Transl Med, 22: 1133.. RNA-targeting CRISPR strategies are also being used to turn off genes that help cancer evade the immune system without changing DNA, opening the door to more tailored immune-based treatments."
