Extrachromosomal circular DNA in tumors: a new mechanism for the formation of these powerful cancer accelerators has been discovered

Extrachromosomal circular DNA in tumors: a new mechanism for the formation of these powerful cancer accelerators has been discovered. A group of italian researchers at IFOM has identified a second pathway through which extrachromosomal circular DNA is formed: fragments of genetic material located outside chromosomes and known to act as tumor accelerators. The study’s results, […]
