One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

For the most part, every cell in the body has the same DNA, but each cell type, like brain or insulin-producing cells, uses it differently to perform specific functions. Epigenetic factors, which ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

Every cell in the human body contains about 2 meters of DNA, roughly the length of a bed. Though too small to see with the naked eye, DNA is intricately organized, allowing it to govern cellular ...

One alternative has been to implant human neural stem cells into the brains of another species, where they’ll generally ...

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the journal Small, ...

Human cells exposed to simulated microgravity showed increased nuclear volume, while genome organization remained stable and no DNA damage occurred.
