Chromatin structure and function: a guide The function of chromatin is to efficiently package DNA into a small volume to fit into the nucleus of a cell and protect the DNA structure and sequence. Read Abcam’s full chromatin guide

Dual thermal ablation can kill pancreatic cancer cells, research shows   A heating and freezing process known as dual thermal ablation can kill pancreatic cancer cells, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University at New York.         Observing Cell-Scale Chemical Reactions with Super-Resolution Microscopy   Researchers have devised a super-resolution microscopy technique that allows them to observe chemical reactions taking place on the cellular scale.

Penn study sheds new light on immune cell identity   Almost all cells in the human body have identical DNA sequences, yet there are 200-plus cell types with different sizes, shapes, and chemical compositions. Determining what parts of the genome are read to make protein and which are silenced is orchestrated by proteins called transcription factors.       New low-cost microfluidic device brings single-cell technology to bedside   Single-cell analysis holds enormous potential to study how individual cells influence disease and respond to treatment, but the lack of cost-effective and user-friendly instrumentation remains challenging.       Researchers discover key inner control mechanism of cell's 'smart glue'   Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered that a protein critical to a process called liquid-liquid phase separation within the cell undergoes internal changes in conformation that are key to its function.       Cell membrane nanofragments can act as nucleation sites for mineralization during bone formation   The burst of cells forming cartilage is associated with mineralization during the early stages of bone formation, and nanofragments of the cell membranes can act as nucleation sites for amorphous calcium phosphate, as reported in two studies just published in Integrative Biology and ASC Biomaterials Science and Engineering.
