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

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

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

When people think of DNA, they visualize a string-like double helix structure. In reality, the DNA double helix in cells is supercoiled and constrained into loops. This supercoiling and looping are ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive ...
