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

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more vulnerable to diseases and infections. Once inside human cells, HIV ...

Visualization of the genome (green) and a single gene (magenta) in a human cell nucleus, with genomic motions mapped by arrows and an example of a gene trajectory highlighted as a colored curve. A ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

Some of the incredible complexity underlying the genome is understood. For example, the effects of chromatin remodeling on gene expression. However, the implications of the movements that occur during ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...
