"textContent": "Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, functional fragments rather than following the standard blueprint. This process, newly termed as \"RNA dicing,\" enables the production of a truncated form of the JAK1 protein that remains highly active and can promote tumor growth, particularly when normal gene function is disrupted.",
