Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

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, ...

The outer membrane of the cell, meanwhile, remains undamaged. “This is exciting because we can selectively create these tiny breaches in the nuclear membrane to access the nucleus directly, while ...

This coupling – essential for cell division to proceed – must withstand the tension as the motor protein walks and enable the nucleus to be delicately maneuvered.

HIV-1-induced nuclear invaginations mediated by VAP-A, ORP3, and Rab7 complex explain infection of activated T cells. Nature Communications, 2023; 14 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-40227-8 ...

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 ...

This is essentially the mail slot where the nucleus sends and receives deliveries. “The pore complex is an incredible piece of machinery; it can’t let just anything into the nucleus of your cell, or ...
