Synthetic hydrogel-based assay to study 3D confined cell migration. Credit: Science Advances (2024). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adm9195 Eukaryotic cells—that is, cells with a nucleus—possess an astounding ...

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 ...

Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have advanced DNA-PAINT microscopy to visualize up to 12 biomolecules inside a cancer cell nucleus at resolutions as fine as 3–5 nanometers. The ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

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, ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling, researchers have discovered how herpesvirus infection affects the host-cell nucleus. Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä ...

Cells are crowded with proteins and nucleic acids. A new study measures subcellular densities across organisms to uncover how material is distributed. (Nanowerk News) Just as life pulsates in big ...
