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 ...

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 ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

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 ...

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 ...

In order for HIV to replicate, the viral genome must enter into the cell nucleus and integrate into the host cell chromosome. Previous work suggests that the entry proceeds through nuclear pore ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a ...
