Landscape of extrachromosomal DNA characteristics in high-grade serous ovarian cancer via long-read sequencing

Cell Reports
Summary: The non-Mendelian inheritance of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) exacerbates tumor genomic heterogeneity and evolution. Due to short-read sequencing’s reconstruction deficiencies, ecDNA abundance in clinical tumor tissues requires further ...

Extrachromosomal DNA-Driven Oncogene Spatial Heterogeneity and Evolution in Glioblastoma. [PDF]

Cancer Discov
UNLABELLED: Oncogene amplification on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is strongly associated with treatment resistance and shorter survival for patients with cancer, including patients with glioblastoma.

Septins in the Middle—Makers and Breakers of Membrane Contact Sites

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Septins are a family of GTP‐binding proteins that assemble into heteromeric oligomers and polymers, associating with specific membrane domains and organelles according to their subunit composition. Growing evidence places septins at membrane contact sites (MCS) — key hubs for intracellular communication that mediate exchange of ions, lipids, and ...

Considerations for the Use of AAV‐based Gene Therapy in HIV‐Positive Individuals With Haemophilia

Haemophilia, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 584-592, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among the haemophilia community due to treatment in the 1970s and 1980s with contaminated clotting factor. Lifelong treatment regimens for haemophilia and HIV are burdensome alone and pose a particular challenge for individuals living with both conditions ...

Uniparental inheritance of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b in Plasmodium falciparum

, 1993
The inheritance of an extrachromosomal 6-kb element has been examined in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. A single base pair difference in the cytochrome b gene from the 6-kb element of two different cloned lines of the parasite was ...

Principles of ecDNA random inheritance drive rapid genome change and therapy resistance in human cancers

, 2021
The foundational principles of Darwinian evolution are variation, selection, and identity by descent. Oncogene amplification on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a common event, driving aggressive tumour growth, drug resistance, and shorter survival in ...

Multiomics Research Strategies in Cancer: A Growing and Innovative Field

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review highlights multiomics strategies in cancer research, focusing on integration methods from genomics to microbiomics. Using colorectal cancer as a key example, it discusses biomarker discovery, data integration via deep learning, and the roles of single‐cell and spatial omics.

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Tumor Cell Plasticity in Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Pharmaceutical Interventions

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Cell plasticity refers to a dynamic program through which cells reprogram their phenotype, acquiring new histologic and molecular characteristics. Recognized as a hallmark of cancer, cellular plasticity plays a critical role in tumor evolution.
