Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on ...

You are mostly but not entirely human. If we crunch the numbers, 8% of your genome actually comes from viruses that got ...

Our DNA is wrapped up in a protective bubble known as the nuclear envelope, and it’s long been thought that this barrier was pretty ironclad. But new research published in Science finds it ...

And because the integrity of a bacterial cell’s envelope is key to its survival, the finding could advance the search for new and better antibiotics.

The cell envelope is composed of membranes and other outer structures, such as proteinaceous S-layers. The envelope is present in both gram-negative and positive bacteria but consists of different ...

The cell nucleus is enclosed by a double lipid membrane that is called the nuclear envelope. All transports in and out of the nucleus take place through pores in the nuclear envelope.

Tenascins impede regeneration of nerve cell envelopes Tenascin C and tenascin R are components of the extracellular matrix, i.e. the scaffolding in which cells are embedded.

Two studies report that the nuclear envelope undergoes rupture and resealing when migrating cells pass through tight spaces.

A survey of cell envelope proteins and their interacting partners in E. coli by mass spectrometry reveals insights into essential bacterial processes.
