“Now, researchers from UC San Diego and their colleagues have found that HPV DNA hybridizes with human DNA genes in oropharyngeal cancer cells, forming extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) that promotes tumor growth.” #dna #isogg #epigenetics #mutations #geneadons #cancer #HPV
today.ucsd.eduHuman and HPV Genes Combine to Form Extrachromosomal DNA That Promotes Oropharyngeal Tumor GrowthHPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers are becoming more common. A new study finds that human and HPV DNA hybridize in cancer cells, creating extrachromosomal DNA which drives the growth of tumors.
