Early Cancer Detection Through Orphan Non-Coding RNAs
Dr. Hani Godarsi introduces a groundbreaking approach to combating cancer, focusing on early detection. He reveals the discovery of orphan non-coding RNAs (on-carnAs), non-coding small RNAs that have revolutionized cancer detection and biology. These on-carnAs provide a digital molecular barcode unique to each cancer type, enabling blood detection of cancer cells and identification of specific subtypes, leading to precise treatment strategies.
