Tethered within the pore are highly dynamic protein threads termed FG Nups (green). Under living conditions, cargo-carrying transport factors (pink) interact with the FG Nups, loosely forming a ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and ...

Cholesterol enhances melanoma cell invasion by making nuclei squishier, revealing a potential treatment target in cancer ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London have discovered that how soft or rigid proteins are in certain regions can dictate how fast or slow they enter the nucleus.

From middle school biology we were always taught that the nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, similar to how the brain is the control center of our own bodies. At first glance this makes a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Genes in the nucleus of the host cell have now replaced their functions. Nowack: "These fundamental findings help us understand how an organelle evolves from a bacterium. Using this mechanism, it may ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

In a recent landmark study, scientists have unveiled how HIV-1 penetrates the cell's nuclear barrier—a discovery that could reshape antiviral strategies. The research, led by Professor Peijun Zhang, ...
