Israeli scientists: New cancer treatment like using ‘tiny scissors’ to hit cells | New York Post

Israeli scientists say they’ve created a way to treat cancer in mice that is so precise, it’s like using “tiny scissors” to target the cells, according to a report.

“This is the first study in the world to prove that the CRISPR genome editing system, which works by cutting DNA, can effectively be used to treat cancer in an animal,” Professor Dan Peer, a cancer expert from Tel Aviv University, told the Times of Israel.

Peer’s research was published last week in the Science Advances journal.
