From detection to action: ctDNA-MRD surveillance and translational strategies in early breast cancer [PDF]
Recurrence remains a major cause of mortality in early breast cancer (EBC), and conventional follow-up often identifies relapse only after clinically detectable disease has emerged. Circulating tumor DNA–based minimal residual disease (ctDNA-MRD) testing

Epigenomic modifications define chromatin states to regulate cell-free DNA fragmentomics [PDF]
Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomics offer promising cancer biomarkers, but their molecular regulation remains elusive. Here, we investigate the role of epigenomic modifications in cfDNA fragmentation.

The emerging clinical relevance of cell-free DNA in lupus: from mechanistic insights to therapeutic opportunities [PDF]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease often characterised by dysregulated immune responses to self-DNA. Emerging evidence highlights the role of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in promoting immune activation in SLE.
