The folding of genomic DNA from the beads-on-a-string-like structure of nucleosomes into higher-order assemblies is crucially linked to nuclear processes. Here we calculate 3D structures of entire ...

This produces a beads-on-a-string structure. This most basic unit of DNA can be further organized into a higher-order structure called chromatin. This is a 30nm fibre that forms from coiling of ...

Cell copying machine: How daughters look like their mothers Date: April 21, 2016 Source: Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia Summary: Tiny structures in our cells, called centrioles, control both cell ...

While some subcellular organelles, like the endoplasmic reticulum, are known to be capable of self-assembly outside of cells, this is the first time researchers have observed reorganization in larger ...

If the cell cycle were like a particular score played by a molecular orchestra, E2F7 was a new conductor, guiding the same instruments in that orchestra to play a new tune, the multiciliation cycle.

In October 2023, a research study out of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) found that the entirety of womens’ brain structure actually fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle ...
