Researchers have developed a new approach that can induce certain cancer cells to differentiate into normal-like cells, potentially reducing malignancy without destroying them. This innovative approach not only represents a potential new treatment pathway but also addresses common concerns about traditional treatments’ side effects and the risk of resistance.
Understanding Cancer Reversion
The concept of cancer reversion, which involves returning cancer cells to their non-malignant state, has intrigued researchers for years. Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho from KAIST explains, “The idea that some cancer cells can be induced to resemble normal cells is a fascinating area of study, with potential therapeutic implications.”
