[Press Release] Steady-state chromatin motion throughout interphase

Drs. Soya Shinkai and Shuichi Onami together with Shiori Iida (SOKENDAl) and Prof. Kazuhiro Maeshima (NIG) et. al. have investigated the local movements of chromatin in living human cells using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy.

Happy to share our new paper @ScienceAdvances:https://t.co/XTm6G7qG9Y@shiori_iida revealed local chromatin motion remains steady throughout interphase, where the nucleus enlarges and DNA doubles! This allows cells to conduct housekeeping tasks under similar environments. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/POpxTYhSGC
