Israeli researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have discovered evidence that RNA editing can be used to repair damaged genes, potentially leading to new genetic treatments for cancer and neurological conditions. The study explains that RNA editing allows the body to tweak genetic recipes without altering the original DNA. The researchers studied a tiny worm called C. elegans and found that RNA editing occurs during cell division, suggesting its role in preparing new genetic recipes. They also identified the ADAR enzyme and a protein that guides it, providing insights for potential treatments for severe diseases.
