University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of ...

In the limited space of the nucleus, most of the genome is tightly folded, leaving accessible only the parts that need to be transcribed. There is “huge interest” in determining which elements of the ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
