Short-circuiting pancreatic cancer: A potential RNA therapy

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal form of pancreas cancer. It's also the most common form of the disease. Potential treatments typically target a key mutated oncogene called KRAS. In some cases, PDAC ...

Retrotransposon drives cancer by altering 3D genome structure

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE-1 in shaping the cancer genome structure and regulation. Retrotransposons are mobile DNA pieces, ...

RNA-based molecule enhances therapies against pancreatic cancer

A research group at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) has identified a candidate molecule that could improve current therapies against pancreatic cancer. The team designed the new molecule, ...
