A new scientific focus on extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is opening transformative possibilities for disease detection, monitoring, and personalized medicine. Once considered a biological ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
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) and is ...
