genes is present in every single cell. That's a lot of information, and when you consider that a cell's nucleus – the organelle that contains the DNA code – is approximately six micrometers in size, ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

Our DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on its packing state, it performs different functions in the cell nucleus. For most of its life – this ...

What do a human, a rose, and a bacterium have in common? Each of these things — along with every other organism on Earth — contains the molecular instructions for life, called deoxyribonucleic acid or ...

KANAZAWA, Japan, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters how high-speed atomic force microscopy can be used for studying ...

The way DNA is packaged inside cells could hold the key to slowing human ageing and may even play a role in diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease. Scientists studying a rare ...

Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a new study. The discovery improves the ...

Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell ...

Cells are fascinating molecular factories. In one cell, a particular gene might be "turned on", so that the DNA code can be transcribed into mRNA and then translated into a protein that serves the ...
