Nya rön kan bidra till bättre diagnos och behandling av levercancer

Tema 12 januari, 2022 Artikel från Karolinska Institutet Ämne: Hälsa & medicin Vid levercancer finns specifika kombinationer av ett protein och en icke-kodande RNA-molekyl. När forskarna minskade förekomsten av RNA-molekylen, minskade tumörcellernas fettdepåer. Tillväxten av cancerceller avtog samtidigt som en stor mängd cancerceller dog. Studien bidrar till kunskap som kan leda till bättre diagnos och…
