In work conducted at both UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators at Qi Biodesign have developed a strand-specific, CRISPR-free editing system for modifying genomes in the nucleus, ...

The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this ...

The eukaryotic mitochondrion is derived from a proteobacterial endosymbiotic ancestor but most of the genes that were originally present in this ancestor's genome have been transferred to the nucleus ...

The mitochondrion isn't the bacterium it was in its prime, say two billion years ago. Since getting consumed by our common single-celled ancestor the 'energy powerhouse' organelle has lost most of its ...

Inside the nucleus, seen here as a purple sphere, is a smaller purple sphere, the nucleolus, which is the most prominent membraneless organelle in our cells. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

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 ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...

(Nanowerk News) A novel strategy for capturing chemotherapeutics in normal cells rather than further optimizing tumor targeting, may reduce the cytotoxicity for normal cell and improve pharmacotherapy ...
