Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

A 17-year-old student from New York has developed a targeted method to stop cancer cells from growing, earning national ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

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 ...

Direct interactions between the cell’s powerhouses and nuclear pores might channel energy straight into the nucleus, fuelling cell division and differentiation. Menendez-Montes et al. investigated ...

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 ...

For decades, biologists assumed a cell's energy simply diffused to wherever it was needed. It turns out the most important destination of all has a private delivery line. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
