Ideas in this flowchart
- Researchers are exploring CRISPR itself as an anticancer treatment.
- Base and prime editors can precisely rewrite faulty DNA without cutting it.
- This could fix cancer-causing mutations with remarkable accuracy.
- Xu W et al. (2024), J Transl Med, 22:1133, provide supporting evidence.
- RNA-targeting CRISPR strategies can turn off genes that help cancer evade the immune system.
- These strategies act without changing DNA.
- They open the door to more tailored immune-based treatments.
