Average local nucleosome motion remains nearly constant during interphase in living human cells

The paper measures local nucleosome motion in living human cells during interphase and finds it remains nearly constant, with changes observed under specific perturbations.

Cohesin prevents local mixing of condensed euchromatic domains in living human cells

This study shows cohesin maintains condensed euchromatic domains in human cells by preventing local mixing, which is crucial for transcriptional insulation.

Linker histone H1 functions as a liquid-like glue to organize chromatin in living human cells

This study shows that linker histone H1 acts as a liquid-like glue in chromatin domains, enabling dynamic interactions that support DNA transactions in human cells.

Liquid-like transcription condensates locally constrain chromatin in living human cells

The paper investigates how BRD4-NUT condensates physically constrain chromatin movement in human cells through liquid-like dynamics and nucleosome crosslinking.
