Abstract excerpt
In a previous paper (Barboro et al., 1993, Biophys. J. 65, 1690-1699) we have shown that cancer development in the resistant hepatocyte model of Solt and Farber is characterized by the progressive unfolding of the higher-order structure of chromatin. A possible functional role of decondensation phenomena in cell transformation cannot be ruled out. Genetic activation involves the relaxation of the superstructure...
