Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

In diagrams and illustrations of cells, DNA is sometimes shown as a mass in the cell's nucleus, like a bowl of ramen noodles. For many years, it's been standard practice to take images of cells that ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

Left: staining for H3K27me3, which marks inactive DNA, on a nucleus of a wildtype embryo consisting of two cells Right: staining for H3K27me3, which marks inactive DNA, on a nucleus of an embryo ...

In an era where the U.S. healthcare system spends $4.5T annually yet faces systemic failures, with life expectancy plummeting to a three-decade low and chronic disease rates at an all-time high, the ...

Paleontologists have isolated cartilage cells from an exceptionally well-preserved dinosaur fossil in China. The cells' nuclei still contain traces of biomolecules and other organic structures, and ...

This led researchers to hypothesize that hnRNP E1 might also interact with DNA. Their results, published online on July 16 in the journal Life Science Alliance, describe a novel role for hnRNP E1 in ...

Researchers have identified how the architecture of the cell nucleus can change gene activity in plants. This discovery reveals fundamental knowledge about genome regulation and points towards future ...
