« Not only can this approach target the ‘undruggable’ cancers that we know, we can also easily and quickly adapt this to new mutations. This is an exciting development for cancer therapies, and potentially for other applications as well. »

We need some human trials!
i wonder if u can target endometriosis with that
honestly if this actually works on half of all cancers that’s genuinely insane, wonder how long before it’s actually available to patients
