Glasgow scientists have been awarded over £214k to lead a 'vital' cancer study.
Cancer Research UK scientists in Glasgow are examining the role DNA and its biological messaging system, RNA, play in the development of bowel cancer.
DNA contains the instructions our bodies need to grow and repair themselves, while RNA is the messaging system that decides which instructions to pass on to specific cells so they know when to grow and how to develop. The team are hopeful that being able to tackle bowel cancer in its early days will stop it from developing and spreading to other parts of the body.
“It has enormous potential because with many treatments, cancers learn how to get round them and this is when cancer comes back.
