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 ...

Genomes contain the complete library of information required to build and maintain a living organism — the figurative blueprints of life.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London have discovered that how soft or rigid proteins are in certain regions can dictate how fast or slow they enter the nucleus.

Dr. McAdams, a physicist at Stanford, was struck by the way biologists drew figures filled with arrows to show how different ...

To make the behavior of DNA understandable and predictable, the researchers combine lab experiments with computer simulations. (Photo: Lennart ...

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 ...
