For more than 30 years, scores of reports have provided evidence for the presence of actin in the nucleus, but until recently the functional significance and even the validity of these findings was in ...

The basic building blocks of all living things are cells. The body of humans is made up of trillions of cells. Plants and animals are made up of cells. They are considered as the basic units of life.

Researchers have developed a new mathematical technique to begin to understand how a cell's nucleus is organized. They hope this understanding will expose vulnerabilities that can be targeted to ...

IN his presidential address to the Royal Microscopical Society delivered on Jan. 20, Prof. R. Ruggles Gates reviewed present knowledge regarding nuclear structure, especially in relation to genetics.

A novel pathway by which proteins are actively and specifically shuttled into the nucleus of a cell has been discovered by scientists. The finding captures a precise molecular barcode that flags ...

New research finds that cancer cells with a more easily deformed nucleus are more sensitive to DNA-damaging drugs.

The headquarter of a eukaryotic cell is the nucleus, and most of the cell's information and instructions are stored there in the form of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA, which is twisted, rolled ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

For decades the cell nucleus has been a black box of biology—scientists have understood little about its structure or the way it operates. But thanks in part to new visualization technologies, ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings ...
