There is a huge amount of DNA in most human cells, and that DNA has to be carefully compacted and organized so that it will ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

A team led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen used advanced imaging techniques to understand how fibers of compacted DNA and proteins are organized and interact inside membrane-less, droplet-like ...

Researchers have discovered that the motion of chromatin, the material that DNA is made of, can help facilitate effective repair of DNA damage in the human nucleus -- a finding that could lead to ...

Researchers in Japan have discovered that the local DNA motion inside of human cells remains steady throughout interphase, where the cell grows and replicates its DNA for cell division. The study ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers map the diverse cell types present in healthy breast tissue to elucidate the role of genetic ancestry in breast cancer risk. Study: ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...
