A Blue Light-Inducible CRISPR-Cas9 System for Inhibiting Progression of Melanoma Cells

Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor that shows a high mortality rate and level of metastasis. BRAF gene mutation (BRAF V600E) is directly related to the occurrence of melanoma. In this study, a light-inducible gene expression system was designed to control the Cas9 transcription, which could then c...
