Nature - Targeting Cancer-Specific Mutations with RNA-Triggered Chromatin Shredding

Researchers used artificial intelligence to design functional CRISPR enzymes not seen in nature.

Scientists may have found a way to destroy cancer cells without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.
