Synthetic hydrogel-based assay to study 3D confined cell migration. Credit: Science Advances (2024). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adm9195 Eukaryotic cells—that is, cells with a nucleus—possess an astounding ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Some of the signs of aging in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age.

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 pacemaker ...

Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have shown that DNA viruses infect cells and take over the host cell nucleus, ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling, researchers have discovered how herpesvirus infection affects the host-cell nucleus. Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are larger than normal. Until now, this was considered a sign that the cancer was ...
