Experiment finds that 3D growth on Matrigel alters rDNA contacts in melanoma, suggesting key mechanisms in tumor behavior.

Mel Z cells show significant changes in rDNA contacts after 15 hours of growth on Matrigel, indicating a shift toward vasculogenic mimicry.
About 400 genes with stable nucleolar contacts co-express with various lincRNAs, linking developmental processes to cellular structure.
This study employs a Matrigel model to assess how melanoma cells reorganize their genomic architecture during mimicry formation.
Findings suggest nucleoli play a crucial role in regulating dynamic gene interactions related to tumor aggressiveness and differentiation.

Tchurikov et al. (2025) studied this question.
