Wow! Check this out-- really interesting work by researchers @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social, featuring @pmcdi.bsky.social's Ale Berlin, who explored circular RNA (circRNA) and its role in the progression of #prostate and #lung cancer

🧬A big step in understanding tumour evolution
How do some cancers shift to become more deadly?

Researchers at @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social have identified an RNA molecule that helps prostate & lung cancers transform into aggressive, hard-to-treat types—a new target in the fight against tumour evolution.
