so histones bind with DNA very tightly. The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which contains eight histone proteins and about 146 base pairs of DNA ...

Histones proteins were selected early in evolution to transform DNA into chromatin filaments formed by many nucleosomes. The ...

As our bodies grow, cells proliferate to form tissues, and cells frequently have to be repaired or replaced throughout life..

They are formed in a woman's body before birth and have to be on standby for decades to possibly be fertilized one day. But as they age, they accumulate more and more DNA damage. Until now, it has ...

New research illustrates how a DNA repair protein suppresses senescent cells, reducing age-associated chronic inflammation.
