The Sheekey Science Show | Can we cure cancer with CRISPR? @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded 10 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
CRISPR these days refers to the suite of technologies that can edit the DNA of living cells by adding, removing, or changing segments of it.. Cancer, by definition, is a genetic disease caused by DNA mutations, changes within the sequence of DNA. So, can we cure cancer with CRISPR? That is the hope of many researchers, but a current promising solution that we’ll take a look at in this video, is perhaps not the straightforward solution you were thinking of. Let’s investigate.
