Researchers at The University of Nottingham have a new weapon in their arsenal of tools to push back the boundaries of science, engineering, veterinary medicine and archaeology.
From soils and sediments, to chunks of pavement, archaeological remains and chocolate bars… the Nanotom, the most advanced 3D X-ray micro Computed Tomography (CT) scanner in the world, will [...]

A group of nanoengineers, biologists and physicists have used innovative approaches to deduce the internal structure of chromatin, a key player in DNA regulation, to reconcile a longstanding controversy in this field. This new finding could unlock the mystery behind the origin of many diseases such as cancer.

MEN-epsilon and MEN-beta act as structural components for a domain in the cell nucleus called paraspeckles
Most of the DNA in the nucleus of each of our cells is converted into RNA, but only a small fraction of these RNA molecules serve as coding templates for the synthesis of proteins. Of the remaining RNAs, known as [...]
