Live Imaging captures DNA folding in sperm cells for the first time
Credit: Nucleic Acid Research (2025). doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf152 The Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-Nanolsi), Kanazawa University, and fellow researchers achieved breakthroughs to understand sperm DNA packages. Using fast atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), we captured the real-time process of protamine (PRM)-induced DNA condensation, providing important insights into fertility, genomic stability, and future applications of medicine. Their findings are published in Nucleic Acid…
