The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

When cells experience sudden physical stress, like stretching or pressure, they can activate a fast, protective mechanism ...

Researchers have made a significant advancement toward understanding how the human genome is organized inside a single cell. This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure influences gene ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have ...

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 ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...
