Cells constantly communicate with each other via signaling pathways. Chemical signals come in like messages in a filled-up ...

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 ...

The magnetic bead exerting 50-piconewtons of force on the nuclear envelope caused deformation of the nucleus. Credit: Wang et al., Sci. Robot. 4, eaav6180 (2019) Being able to directly probe ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

The size of a cell's nucleolus may reveal how long that cell, or even the organism it belongs to, will live. Over the past few years, researchers have been piecing together an unexpected link between ...

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 ...

Rush hour never ceases at the nucleus’ border. Gene products begin their lives in the nucleus as strands of mRNA that ship out into the cytoplasm, where they serve as templates for protein synthesis.
