According to Kirby, other groups have “genetically manipulated” cells so they no longer have the Link complex. Afterwards they tested if this affected functions in the nucleus.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have discovered how proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue.

The production of D-2HG creates a bridge between mitochondrial dysfunction and the mechanics of the cell nucleus, an unexpected form of cross-talk that changes how we think about adaptation in ...

New research from Professor Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape change of a cell’s nucleus can trigger regenerative signals and improve implant performance.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania.

The outer membrane of the cell, meanwhile, remains undamaged. “This is exciting because we can selectively create these tiny breaches in the nuclear membrane to access the nucleus directly, while ...
