DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes.
A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.
Over the past few decades, advances in hematology have illuminated how a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation sustains healthy blood formation. In myelodysplastic ...
There is a huge amount of DNA in most human cells, and that DNA has to be carefully compacted and organized so that it will fit into a cell’s nucleus, while the crucial parts of it remain accessible ...
As we age, our cells age with us. Although they remain active, they become less flexible, stop dividing and sometimes respond incorrectly to signals. The reason for this lies in the cell nuclei, ...
Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...
The framework of CASHeart. (A) Overview of the data collection and data processing workflow in the CASHeart Database. (B) Introduction to the main interfaces of the CASHeart website. The human heart ...
Genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling reveals how myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) stem cells progressively lose normal stem-cell features and acquire myeloid progenitor-like characteristics.
Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...
