Mouse liver tissue with tumor

Caption

A cross-section of mouse liver tissue containing a liver cancer tumor. Cancer tissue is shown in purple and healthy tissue is shown in pink. CSHL Professor Adrian Krainer and his team found a way to make mouse liver cells produce a cancer-suppressing protein and simultaneously reduce the levels of a cancer-promoting protein, using RNA-based molecules called antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs).
