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

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

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

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

HOUSTON, NOVEMBER 24, 2025 ― Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside ...

Researchers discovered that stiff DNA segments inside nucleosomes physically block chromatin remodeling. The remodeling machinery normally shifts DNA by creating 20–30 base-pair loops, but these ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

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