Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 28 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41580-026-01031-6p53 loss induces global increase of transcription that causes nucleotide shortage and replication stress, thereby driving formation of DNA double-strand breaks and chromothripsis.

Chromothripsis and ecDNA initiated by N4BP2 nuclease fragmentation of cytoplasm-exposed chromosomes
Genome instability, including chromothripsis, is a hallmark of cancer. Cancer cells frequently contain micronuclei—small, nucleus-like structures formed by chromosome missegregation—that are susceptib...

Cool paper in Cancer Discovery @theaacr.bsky.social from last week. My @mskdeptofmed.bsky.social colleague Charlie Rudin and MSK collaborators, led by Natasha Rekhtman, explore an unusual subset of small cell lung cancers that happen in people who never smoked cig aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov....
Chromothripsis-Mediated Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
This study describes an exceptional, alternative pathway of SCLC pathogenesis via chromothripsis and ecDNA in the absence of RB1 and TP53 mutations or smoking mutagenesis, defining a novel tumor type ...

Two new @natureportfolio.bsky.social publications:

1️⃣ Multi-omic profiling of medulloblastoma characterizes subclonal variation of chromothripsis (doi.org/10.1038/s414...)

2️⃣ Spatio-temporal profiling explores mechanisms of treatment resistance (doi.org/10.1038/s414...)

Thanks to all involved! 🙌

Fanconi anaemia pathway induces chromosome shattering - Nature Reviews Cancer
Engel et al. conducted a genetic screen in which they identified the Fanconi anaemia (FA) pathway as a driver of chromothripsis, complex genomic rearrangements and generation of extrachromosomal DNA.
