Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms

Original: Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours

Researchers, including the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, report that theoretical physics methods have helped reveal the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours. These DNA fragments, found outside normal chromosomes in cancer cells, are linked to tumour evolution and drug resistance. The work shows physics-based modelling can contribute to cancer biology, drawing attention across the physics and medical research communities.

Why now: A cross-disciplinary result showing physics tools advancing cancer research is notable and newsworthy.
