An international team of scientists has unveiled the most comprehensive model yet that explains how cells control the flow of ...

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 class of antivirals called Pin1 inhibitors could reduce or stop outbreaks of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the common ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London have discovered that how soft or rigid proteins are in certain regions can dictate how fast or slow they enter the nucleus.

The image shows the cross section mutant brown adipose tissue section with enlarged lipid droplets (yellow) and nucleus (blue) being impinged by multiple mitochondria (red). Mitochondria are ...

Activating lysosome biogenesis helps alleviate cellular senescence in progeria. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...

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 ...

Among those causes are gametes that don't function properly, whether that's the sperm, the ova, or a combination of both. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a form of IVG in which the nucleus of ...

Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through ...
