Cancer cells do not directly attack other cells in the body, but they clog things up because they continue to reproduce without limit, growing tumors in various places where they will block or get in the way of normal body functions.

How does small interfearing RNA kill cancer cells?

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can kill cancer cells by targeting specific genes or pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival or growth. When siRNA enters the cancer cells, it binds to its complementary mRNA, leading to degradation of the mRNA and inhibition of protein synthesis. This disrupts crucial cellular processes in the cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.
