The study highlights how EV-DNA packaging influences immune responses and its promise as a biomarker for assessing colorectal cancer metastasis risk.

In a recent study published in Nature Cancer, a team of researchers investigated the unique structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and its role in cancer progression.

Much more than waste: Tiny vesicles exchange genetic information between cells in the sea Extracellular vesicles play a much greater role in horizontal gene transfer in the ocean than previously ...

DNA secreted by tumor cell extracellular vesicles prompts anti-metastatic immune response Date: December 3, 2024 Source: Weill Cornell Medicine Summary: Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a study led by researchers at Weill ...

But what is the role of these extracellular mitochondria? The answer to that could be linked to the structure of the mitochondrial DNA, similar to that of bacterial DNA, which gives it the ability ...

Little sacs can bud from cells, and they are known as extracellular vesicles. These little sacs can contain many molecules from the cell, like proteins, RNA, and bits of DNA. Scientists have now found ...
