In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

This voyage inside the human cell reveals an amazing world of cell communication between the cell nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and more.

Light can be used to control the transport of proteins from the cell nucleus with the aid of a light-sensitive, genetically modified plant protein. Biologists working in the field of optogenetics ...

Lehigh University engineers, Xuanhong Cheng and James Hwang, awarded National Science Foundation grant to explore the use of microwave technology to characterize the nucleus of a live cell ...

The nucleus is the headquarter of eukaryotic cells and most of the cell's information and instructions are stored there in the form of DNA. For decades, the mobility of molecules in the nucleus was ...
