Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

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 ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

The nucleus contains the cell's DNA. (Image credit: NIGMS.) Encasing the cell is a membrane with special gates, channels and pumps that let in or force out selected molecules.

The nucleus is guarded by a highly secure door, the so-called nuclear pore, that controls the transport of substances from the cytoplasm to the cell nucleus and back. A research group has now ...

A team of physicists has devised a novel strategy that uses naturally occurring motions inside the human cell nucleus to measure the physical properties of the nucleus and its components. The ...

Cramming meters-long DNA strands into a cell’s tiny nucleus is an astonishing feat. A new study suggests that cells from plants (shown), animals and fungi accomplish it one of two ways.
