Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms

Original: Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours

Researchers, including Italy's National Institute for Nuclear Physics, report that theoretical physics methods have helped reveal how extra-chromosomal DNA behaves inside tumour cells. These circular DNA fragments, separate from chromosomes, are known to drive cancer growth and drug resistance. Applying physics-based modelling to their molecular mechanisms offers new insight that could inform future cancer research and treatment strategies.

Why now: A novel cross-disciplinary application of physics to cancer biology is drawing attention.
