Cigarette smoke accelerates eye aging by causing epigenetic changes that block the eye's natural repair genes.

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 ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

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 ...

Some of the earliest roots of the human eye appear to lie in a small marine animal that lived nearly 600 million years ago. Researchers at Lund Univer.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

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

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These ...

Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...
