• First in the World: ITMO Researchers Train DNA Constructs to Detect Cancer Cells Based on Cancer Marker Concentration

  Researchers from ITMO University have developed DNA constructs based on antisense oligonucleotides that can detect different cancer marker concentrations in cells. Thanks to this capability, the DNA constructs activate only in cancer cells with high concentrations of cancer markers, cleaving the RNAs of genes responsible for the cells’ viability. At the same time, healthy cells, even with several copies of cancer markers inside, remain untouched. With this solution, target cancer therapy will become more accurate, efficient, and safe. The new DNA constructs were described in a paper published in Chemical Communications.
