The structure of a cell’s nucleus has long served as a visible clue to whether a cell is healthy or affected by disease.

Unlocking cell nucleus behaviors Deformation mechanics may be key in cancer fight Date: August 18, 2022 Source: Texas A&M University Summary: A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors ...

Cyanobacteria are among the oldest life forms, and appear to be the forerunners of green chloroplasts in plant cells. They do not possess a true cell nucleus, but their genetic substance is made up of ...

The latest imaging method from the Broad Institute uncovers structural disruptions in the nucleus associated with progeria at ...

A team of physicists has devised a novel strategy that uses naturally occurring motions inside the human cell nucleus to measure the physical properties of the nucleus and its components.

There are only so many ways to cram DNA into a cell’s nucleus, a study suggests. A cell’s complete genetic blueprint, or genome, is densely packed into chromosomes, condensing meters of DNA ...

“The idea here is: what is Ndc1 doing specifically during the early steps of building nuclear pores after cell division?” Mauro said. “What we wanted to understand is how Ndc1 does this. These ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and ...

The study is published in the journal Cell. Nuclear pore complexes are the guardians of the human genome that is packaged ...
