Extra chromosomes —long a mystery in tumors—may help them grow
Cancer cells are sloppy with their DNA, often gaining entire chromosomes as they proliferate. Now, researchers have found that this extra DNA can rev up the cells' growth and stymie one of the body's main anticancer defenses. This chromosomal hoarding may leave some tumors susceptible to certain drugs, however, opening the possibility of tailored treatments.
The study, in which researchers used gene editing to compare cells with and without extra chromosomes, "is important, it's novel, and it was carried out in a very elegant way," says cell biologist Uri Ben-David of Tel Aviv University, who wasn't connected to the ...
