Gene Linked to Vitamin D Boosts Cancer Treatment and Autoimmune Disease Potential
TL;DR Summary
Researchers used CRISPR to study the gene SDR42E1, crucial for vitamin D metabolism, finding that inhibiting it can selectively kill cancer cells and potentially lead to new cancer treatments, while also suggesting broader applications in diseases influenced by vitamin D. However, long-term effects need further investigation.
