FRIPROSJEKT-FRIPROSJEKT

Discovering vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer by measuring double stranded RNA

Only a small part of DNA is transcribed and converted into functioning molecules, or in other words, expressed. Healthy cells tightly control which regions are expressed, however, cancer cells lose this regulatory control to allow uncontrolled cell growth. Interestingly, loss of regulatory contro...
