CRISPR makes prostate cancer vulnerable to immunotherapy
The experimental CRISPR Cas13 approach restored an immune signal in mice and made checkpoint therapy more effective, with no detectable off-target effects.
Scientists used CRISPR to make prostate cancer cells easier for the immune system to detect and destroy. The experimental treatment dramatically improved the effects of immunotherapy in mice and may offer hope for other hard-to-treat tumors.
