Exciting data from Dr. Dave Elzi at the #RNATherapeutics Conference: the double knockdown of specific proteins on the cell membrane selectively kills cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. A powerful step forward in RNA-based precision oncology. #siRNA #CancerResearch #RNAinnovation #bioAffinity

Non-coding RNAs secreted by renal cancer include piR_004153 that promotes migration of mesenchymal stromal cells - Cell Communication and Signaling Background Renal cell cancer (RCC) is the most common and highly malignant subtype of kidney cancer. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are components of tumor microenvironment (TME) that influence RCC ...

This isn’t our study—but we’re thrilled our tools enabled this vital research. 🧬
