Clinical Chemistry, 2012 In 1947, Mandel and Metais discovered the unusual phenomenon of circulating cell-free DNA (1). Although one might naively think that DNA is found only in the nuclei of cells, it turns out that a substantial amount of small DNA fragments circulates within the blood.

A targeting sequence directs DNA methyltransferase to sites of DNA replication in mammalian nuclei [PDF]
, 1992 Tissue-specific patterns of methylated deoxycytidine residues in the mammalian genome are preserved by postreplicative methylation of newly synthesized DNA. DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is here shown to associate with replication foci during S phase but

Plasma Cell-Free DNA in Paediatric Lymphomas [PDF]
Journal of Cancer, 2013 Extracellular circulating DNA (cfDNA) can be found in small amounts in plasma of healthy individuals. Increased levels of cfDNA have been reported in patients with cancer of breast, cervix, colon, liver and it was shown that cfDNA can originate from both tumour and non-tumour cells.Levels of cfDNA of a large series of children with lymphoma were ...

University of Western Ontario Medical Journal, 2020 Chromosomal disorders arise from errors in cell division and many are detected during prenatal development. Prenatal genomic screening techniques involve invasive methods such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis. In this feature, current invasive techniques for genetic screening will be examined in relation to the development of non-invasive

Cell-Free DNA as an Obesity Biomarker
Physiological Research, 2020 Obesity is a disease that affects about 13 % of the world population (2016) (Who 2018). This condition generates a process of systemic inflammation that may contribute to the release of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) into the bloodstream. cfDNA has been considered a potential biomarker to monitor several physiological and pathological conditions, such as tumors,

Cell-free circulating tumor DNA in cancer [PDF]
Chinese Journal of Cancer, 2016 Cancer is a common cause of death worldwide. Despite significant advances in cancer treatments, the morbidity and mortality are still enormous. Tumor heterogeneity, especially intratumoral heterogeneity, is a significant reason underlying difficulties in tumor treatment and failure of a number of current therapeutic modalities, even of molecularly ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

, 2013 Damage to DNA can block replication progression resulting in gaps in the newly synthesized DNA. Cells utilize a number of post-replication repair (PRR) mechanisms such as the RAD18 controlled translesion synthesis or template switching to overcome the ...

Reversal of terminal differentiation and control of DNA replication [PDF]
, 1993 DNA replication in mammalian cells occurs in discrete nuclear foci. Here we show that terminally differentiated myotubes can be induced to reenter S phase and show the same pattern of replication foci as cycling cells.
