Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Researchers have developed a new mathematical technique to begin to understand how a cell's nucleus is organized. They hope this understanding will expose vulnerabilities that can be targeted to ...

For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the cell navigated through pores and between fibers inside the human body.

An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear ...

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) controls what moves in and out of the cell nucleus. Scientists have long debated how its ...
