Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in ...

Researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell -- the compartment that houses our DNA -- without damaging the cell's outer membrane. This new 'gateway into the ...

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 ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...

Humans aren’t the only targets for viruses. Like us, bacteria become infected by many types of viruses. In fact, across billions of years, bacteria and viruses have engaged in a non-stop evolutionary ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a ...

A new study has revealed how HIV squirms its way into the nucleus as it invades a cell. Because viruses have to hijack someone else's cell to replicate, they've gotten very good at it -- inventing all ...

A study led by EPFL shows that Urolithin A, a natural compound, can abolish high anxiety in rats by repairing mitochondrial function in their brain cells, specifically in the nucleus accumbens. The ...
