Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

(Nanowerk News) If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
