Chromatin
Packed inside the nucleus of every human cell is nearly 6 feet of DNA, which is subdivided into 46 individual molecules, one for each chromosome and each about 1.5 inches long. Collecting all this material… More »

After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

The finding, while vitally important to understanding the B cell and its immune system counterparts, represents a first in determining the physiological effects of changes wrought on the chromatin fiber -- the material basis of chromosomes made of DNA "thread" wound on protein "spools" called histones.
