Each cell contains well-defined compartments, each of which has a specific function. The nuclear envelope, for example, is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the ...

All living cells harbor nuclei - key biological structures that play an important role in information storage, retrieval, and duplication of genetic information. In mammals, these nuclei possess the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cell Biology, a team of researchers discovered that the elevated expression of lamin-associated polypeptide 1 (LAP1), an inner nuclear membrane protein, helps ...

Dynamic network in the pores of the nuclear envelope blocks dangerous invaders. Tiny pores in the cell nucleus play an essential role for healthy aging by protecting and preserving the genetic ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

All living cells harbor nuclei—key biological structures that play an important role in information storage, retrieval, and duplication of genetic information. In mammals, these nuclei possess the ...

Nuclear movement is involved in cellular and developmental processes across eukaryotic life, often driven by Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes, which bridge the nuclear ...

Cell migration in confined environments leads to nuclear envelope rupture, chromatin leakage and genomic instability. This ...

Scientists at the Utrecht University in the Netherlands say they have identified a new way in which the toxic protein aggregates associated with Huntington’s disease may damage nerve cells and cause ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...
