This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in synthetic chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA.

Molecular density of chromosome environment increases, making the depletion attraction stronger, and contributes to local condensation of chromosomes. These schematics are highly simplified models, ...

(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...
