The chromatin landscape is a key aspect of epigenetic regulation in eukaryotes. Old histones are recycled during DNA replication, therefore providing a blueprint for the duplication of their ...

The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which contains eight histone proteins and about 146 base pairs of DNA (Van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, 1999).

Thus, in the reconstruction of the four daughter nuclei, two of them contain more chromatin than the other two. The resulting pollen grains, however, look alike. 14. In the somatic mitosis there are ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

outside their traditional habitat of chromatin in the nucleus. We are investigating the function of these epigenetic modifiers on microtubule and actin dynamics during mitosis and during quiescence, ...

Consequently, mitosis-related defects have been overlooked as therapeutic targets in this disease ... and motility and ultimately tumor growth and invasiveness. Chromatin modifiers such as SETD2 ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...
