Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller
