Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

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 ...

Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly observed this process in high resolution under the microscope using a new chromatin tracing method. The new study shows that the long DNA ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

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

p53 enhances DNA repair and suppresses cytoplasmic chromatin fragments and inflammation in senescent cells - ...
