Scientists from Yale University (USA) have learned how to stop the growth of a cancerous tumor using the CRISPR gene editing technique. In this respect informs “Reedus”. It was explained that the researchers removed extra chromosomes from the damaged cells, which allowed you to stop the uncontrolled growth of the tumor.
Experts point out that healthy human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, most cancer cells have extra pairs. Using CRISPR, scientists created a unique tool and then removed the extra chromosomes with it. As a result, the cells lost their ability to form malignant tumors.
The University noted that this was only the first phase of the study, with all tests performed in a Petri dish. At the same time, according to scientists, preparations are underway for testing on animals.
