A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

A team of researchers at Åbo Akademi University in Finland made a surprising discovery. They found that Talin-1, a protein primarily known for its role in cell adhesion at the periphery of the cell, ...

Researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell -- the compartment that houses our DNA -- without damaging the cell's outer membrane. This new 'gateway into the ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

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

An international team of scientists has unveiled the most comprehensive model yet that explains how cells control the flow of materials in and out of their nuclei—solving one of biology's oldest ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...
