Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

DNA nanostructures are exciting new biomedical tools with myriad potential in treatment, diagnosis and disease prevention.

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
