CRISPR and fusion genes, CNIO

Caption

Representative images of an untreated tumour (left) compared to another tumour (right) treated with the CRISPR gene editing system for elimination of fusion genes. Cells are stained with a cell proliferation marker (Ki67). Brown staining indicates a high rate of cell proliferation in the untreated tumour, while the absence of staining (cells in blue) indicates that the CRISPR-treated tumour has stopped its growth.
