A newly isolated giant virus shows bizarre features inside infected cells, and its unusual structure hints at deeper ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilised egg as a structural 'blank slate' – a disordered tangle of ...

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.

Researchers identified how the poxvirus protein VITF-3 forms a molecular ring that clamps onto DNA with viral RNA polymerase, ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection dramatically remodels the host cell's nuclear structures. Infection leads to ...
