The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

Researchers have made a significant advancement toward understanding how the human genome is organized inside a single cell. This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure influences gene ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...
