In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

The Kanazawa team led by Katsuya Sakai, discovered that CHD1 uses a flexible region to form tiny liquid-like droplets, called condensates, that act as hubs for controlling the activity of crucial ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like ...

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 ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme's ...
