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

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 ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

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

As a result of this repulsion, the DNA loops then stack up to form rod-shaped chromosomes. Tracing chromosomal DNA in high resolution Scientists have long hypothesised the importance of DNA loops ...
