Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

Specific way genetic material is organized in cells determines its ability to adapt to resist treatment. Scientists modulated ...

In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in disease ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Pluripotent stem cells depend on specialized nuclear organization for their function. Here, the authors show that DDX18 regulates nucleolar phase separation and chromatin architecture to preserve ...

Perhaps more interesting is that in rod cells we see a reorganized nucleus and genome as an adaptation to an important overriding function - the maximization of light transmission.
