3D structure of a probable precursor to the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme revealed

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA. Since the discovery of the CRISPR gene editing technology, scientists are revealing the evolution of the CRISPR-Cas proteins from their precursors.

Combinatorial biomarker predicts response to immunotherapy in kidney cancer patients

The number of immune cells in and around kidney tumors, the amount of dead cancer tissue, and mutations to a tumor suppressor gene called PBRM1 form a biomarker signature that can predict — before treatment begins — how well patients with kidney cancer will respond to immunotherapy, according to new research directed by investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
