A typical B-DNA molecule, which is a right handed helix, consists of two complementary polynucleotide chains that intertwine periodically to form a double helical structure. This provides topological features of the DNA ...

Macroautophagy (herein autophagy) is a mechanism in which cells sequester a part of cytoplasm within a double membrane structure called autophagosome and deliver it to the vacuole for degradation. The degradation products, ...

From Birth to Rebirth, every living cell progress through a defined set of well regulated events that constitute the “Cell Cycle”. This complex and well coordinated set of events with an accurate and precise control in ...

Genomic DNA in eukaryotic nucleus is compactly packaged to generate a highly ordered 3D hierarchical structure known as chromatin [1, 2]. Kornberg [5] proposed that chromatin is composed of a flexible chain of repeating ...

Vascular development during embryogenesis is tightly regulated and occurs at two distinct locations - extra-embryonic yolk sac and embryo proper (Coultas et al., 2005). The endothelial precursors at both locations coalesce ...

The precise transmission of the genetic information from one generation to the next during the mitotic cell cycle is extremely important for a eukaryotic organism. This process involves faithful duplication of the whole ...

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that was named so by Walther Flemming in 1882 as a substance that could be visualized by staining. It is a highly ordered structure made up of arrays of nucleosomes that forms ...
