Single string pull turns flat designs into 3D structures for modular space habitats
When a user pulls the string, the structure moves smoothly into its final 3D form. If the user releases the string, the ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

New 4D genome maps reveal how genes fold, interact, and reposition as cells divide
The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...
AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...
DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...
In typical rollable structures, the cross-section is flat in the storage phase so that it can wrap smoothly around a central hub, and transforms into a corrugated cross-section in the deployed phase ...
In a study published in Nature Methods on December 2, a research team led by Profs. Xu Tao and Ji Wei from the Institute of ...
Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...
Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...
