Cancer breakthrough as ‘speckles’ may reveal best treatment Penn In the News Newsweek Cancer breakthrough as ‘speckles’ may reveal best treatment A paper co-authored by PIK Professor Shelley Berger finds that patterns of “speckles” in the heart of tumor cells could help predict how patients with a common form of kidney cancer will respond to treatment options. For kids with rare genetic disorders, customized CRISPR treatments offer hope Penn In the News NPR For kids with rare genetic disorders, customized CRISPR treatments offer hope Scientists at Penn are trying to develop a template for groups of rare conditions that are similar enough to be affected by a single, easily adaptable gene-editing treatment.
