This is a good (developing) story of the importance of basic biology research 2019: genome-wide CRISPR and RNAi screens find that loss of the Werner syndrome helicase, WRN, uniquely sensitises cells that have microsatellite instability (MSI - a hallmark of mismatch repair

Durable complete responses to PD-1 blockade alone in mismatch repair deficient locally advanced rectal cancer #ASCO24 👉100% cCR, no relapse & no additional therapy 👉20 pts with sustained response of 12mo 👉ctDNA as an early marker of response 🧐Just amazing efficacy… ESMO - Eur. Oncology

Another scientist whose work initially didn't get the recognition that it deserved - Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard, even after publishing the seminal work that resulted in him receiving the Nobel Prize today!
