A team of researchers led by Prof. Xiao Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

This work provides a powerful example of how nature and nurture interact—underscoring how temperature can modulate cell identity. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the transition from ...

Inside cells, DNA mixes with proteins to form chromatin within the nucleus. Within chromatin, structures called packing domains form when chromatin fibers fold together. These chromatin packing ...

Immunofluorescence showed that kinetochore proteins were displaced from the centromere in lunasin-transfected cells. These observations suggest that lunasin binds to the chromatin, leading to ...
