The 0.05% RNA Process That Makes Cancer Self-Destruct

Australian researchers have discovered a promising new strategy to suppress the growth of aggressive and hard-to-treat cancers by targeting a specialized molecular process known as ‘minor splicing’.

Published in EMBO Reports, the study shows that blocking minor splicing can markedly slow tumor growth in liver, lung and stomach cancers, while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

The research in animal models and human cells, from Australian medical research institute WEHI, demonstrates the…
