🧪1/ 🚨New paper on ecDNAs from our lab!
We reveal a strategy to engineer extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) amplifications in cells & mice. Let's dive in! Let’s dive in! 🧵👇

Engineered extrachromosomal oncogene amplifications promote tumorigenesis - Nature
Large extrachromosomal DNAs are engineered using a CRISPR- and Cre–loxP-based approach and shown to drive cancer in mouse models, with potential applications in determining the role of oncogene a...

Really interesting paper on how aging limits lung cancer progression by the Tammela lab www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Ageing limits stemness and tumorigenesis by reprogramming iron homeostasis - Nature
Studies using mouse models of lung adenocarcinoma identify an association between age, iron homeostasis and tumour initiation potential that involves NUPR1 and lipocalin-2.

Dear new #science #STEM community-
@abireland.bsky.social and I are thrilled to share our latest. The basal cell changes everything for #SCLC #plasticity! Despite prevailing dogma, we now believe the basal cell is the most plausible origin for SCLC because:
