A pioneering study has unveiled that the 3D organization of DNA can influence the progression of the aggressive brain tumor known as glioblastoma. Having identified the factors that glioblastoma uses ...

DNA has to be carefully packaged and organized in cells so it will both physically fit into the nucleus, and also remain accessible to the cellular machinery that transcribes active genes. Together, ...

In a discovery that could redefine how we understand cellular resilience and adaptability, scientists have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...

(Nanowerk News) Performing cutting-edge science requires thinking outside the box and bringing together different scientific disciplines. Sometimes this even means being in the right place at the ...

National Eye Institute (NEI) researchers have mapped the organization of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibers that package three billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that ...
