Among the hundreds of undergraduates who presented their research at this year's Meeting of the Minds — CMU’s annual undergraduate research symposium — some focused their research efforts on improving ...

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a unique form of circular DNA that exists outside of normal chromosomes. Found exclusively in tumor cells, it often carries cancer-promoting genes (oncogenes ...

Scientists have now learned more about a process in which the genome of HPV links to human genes in cancer cells of oropharyngeal tumors; this leads to the formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA ...

EcDNA is made up of small, circular segments of DNA that form outside of chromosomes within the cell, and is frequently found in cancer cells. It has been shown to elude the immune system and ...

The human cell’s instruction manual, DNA, is mostly stored in packages called chromosomes. In 1965, researchers in the United States and the United Kingdom detected an enigmatic extrachromosomal ...

Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) encode oncogenic driver proteins, regulatory elements, immunomodulators, and genes of yet-unknown oncogenicity (Panel A). They exist as circular pieces of DNA in the ...

Pancreatic cancer’s deadly resilience may be tied to extrachromosomal DNA, which allows tumor cells to rapidly adapt to stress and evade treatment. These circular DNA fragments carry extra copies of ...

Just in time for CES 2025, Circular has lifted the curtain to reveal the new Circular Ring 2, a completely redesigned smart ring that offers two key features that no other smart ring, including ...

Once brushed aside as a curiosity, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is now taking centrestage ... break away from the main chromosome and form a circular structure that floats freely inside the ...

shed light on the unique behaviour of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), small, circular DNA structures that are common in some of the most difficult to treat cancers. The papers identify, for the ...

“Cancer does not have a single cause, it is multifactorial, so it is difficult to say that extrachromosomal circular DNA is the cause of cancer,” stresses the Barcelona-born scientist. “What we do ...
