Matrix Chromosomes

The chromosome matrix is ​​the region of the cell that is responsible for storing genetic information and regulating its transmission between cells. This is an important structure because this is where the process of DNA replication occurs, that is, the creation of an exact copy of the same region from the parent DNA molecule. In addition, the matrix also regulates gene transcription, a process during which DNA is converted into RNA and then proteins, allowing the cell to perform its function.

The chromosome matrix consists of many biological structures, including DNA histones and DNA inhibitors, which form a matrix around the DNA. It also contains various enzymes, such as replicative enzymes and translation proteins, necessary to ensure that all genetic information is accurately copied. It is surrounded by a nuclear membrane, which protects it from external influences and prevents the migration of chromosomal components.

However, chromosome matrices can also be disrupted in various cellular diseases such as cancer or hereditary diseases. These disruptions in matrices can lead to mutations in genes, disruption of DNA repair, and changes in transcription. Impaired functions of matrix-chromosome prion disorders can lead to the development of neurological diseases.
