Migrating cancer cells shed giant vesicles packed with entire genomes
Original: Cancer cells on the move shed giant vesicles packed with whole genomes
Researchers report that migrating cancer cells release giant vesicles containing whole genomes, adding to what is known about how tumours shed genetic material as they move through the body. The finding could have implications for understanding cancer spread and for liquid biopsy approaches that detect tumour DNA in circulation.
Why now: The discovery offers new insight into how migrating cancer cells distribute genetic material, which is relevant to cancer research and diagnosis
