Cancer, that formidable adversary that touches the lives of far too many of us, has long been a puzzle for medical researchers. On the Templeton Wellness website, we’ve talked nonstop about the many factors that have been identified as significant contributors to cancer risk—including toxins, the environment, genetics, and epigenetics.
A recent discovery by researchers in Australia points to a lesser-known culprit hidden deep within our cells: circular RNAs (circular genetic fragments). The work echoes findings by German researchers in 2019 that delved into how circular DNA causes cancer in children. These findings open an important new avenue in medical and molecular biology research, offering new possibilities in cancer treatment and prevention.
