AI identifies oncogenes in cancer cells, could help deliver personalised cancer treatments: Study

AI identifies oncogenes in cancer cells, could help deliver personalised cancer treatments: Study When normal cells become cancer cells, oncogenes, or genes with the potential to cause cancer, become activated and tumour suppressor genes become inactivated, causing a rewiring of the cell. This causes the cell to become dependent on a new set of genes to survive, and this can then be exploited to kill the cancer cells. By using this new AI technology to target protein products of tumour-specific dependent genes, cancer cells can be killed, leaving the normal cells which are not dependent on these genes relatively unharmed, https://ift.tt/326qMXJ
