Chemotherapy drugs are known to cause considerable harm to RNA, an essential molecule for cellular processes. RNA plays a critical role in protein synthesis and gene expression.
The integrity of RNA is crucial for maintaining normal cellular function. Damage to RNA can disrupt these processes, potentially affecting the efficacy of cancer treatments.
Understanding the mechanisms behind RNA damage could lead to improved strategies for cancer therapy, enhancing treatment outcomes by targeting RNA integrity.
