According to Kirby, other groups have “genetically manipulated” cells so they no longer have the Link complex. Afterwards they tested if this affected functions in the nucleus.

The outer membrane of the cell, meanwhile, remains undamaged. “This is exciting because we can selectively create these tiny breaches in the nuclear membrane to access the nucleus directly, while ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the ...

A team led by scientists at Northwestern University has discovered how paraspeckles, a landmark (condensate) found in the ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Proteins need to come in and out of the nucleus, the control center of the cell, to give different functions, such as telling the nucleus to switch on or off certain genes.

He believes nucleus-forming phages could be better for phage therapies against bacterial infections because they evolved to be naturally resistant to many types of bacterial defense systems.

A new study has revealed how HIV squirms its way into the nucleus as it invades a cell. Because viruses have to hijack someone else's cell to replicate, they've gotten very good at it -- inventing ...

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 ...
