🚨 Can broken DNA generate a new protein?
Our study independently confirms that DSBs trigger transcription from the break—and shows, for the first time, that the resulting RNA can be translated.
Could this generate neoantigens after radio/chemotherapy?

Pretty scary stuff!
This researcher created a fictional illness, and fake studies funded by the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and University of the Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad.
LLMs warned people the illness was real.
