Israeli Scientists Kill Cancer with Revolutionary DNA Altering Treatment

Israeli scientists have developed a cutting-edge nanotechnology system that can destroy cancerous cells in mice. The Tel Aviv University team of researchers have pioneered a treatment method that is so precise, that it is almost as if tiny molecular scissors were being used to kill the cancer. The process is known as CRISPR genome editing and it allows researchers to alter DNA sequences. Specifically, scientists at the university created what is known as “CRISPR-LNPs,” a lipid nanoparticle delivery system that carries a genetic messenger (known as messenger RNA), along with a navigation system that can “recognize” cancerous cells.
