Potential new target for cancer treatment

Inhibition of the enzyme RIOK1could stop the growth of tumors and the development of metastases

Thanks for sharing. Be nice if they could at least test tumor tissue for the enzyme now, even if they don't yet have the modified therapy to target it. Then we'd at least have a better idea if we are at higher risk for metastasis. Or maybe this enzyme is something already included in Oncotype or other risk predictor tests. Interesting nonetheless. I much prefer GM technology be used this way than for crop modification. But that is another issue.

Have a great day
