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 ...
Figure 1. Design and synthesis of circAMO . (a) Synthesis of a single-molecule ring by rigid regulation of selectivity; (b) Schematic diagram of circAMO design; (c) Synthesis of circAMO; (d) ...
Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular fragments of DNA that drive the survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments. In three ...
