Aberrant nuclei with amplified DNA in cancer

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Gene amplification in the form of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) or intrachromosomal homogenous staining regions (HSRs) is an emerging hallmark in cancer. Recent studies implicate abnormal nuclear structures in the biogenesis and evolution of amplified DNA. Here, we discuss how the interplay between aberrant nuclei and gene amplification drives cancer therapy resistance and metastasis.
