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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Beyond classic stress signaling: How mitochondrial stress softens the cell nucleus and alters cellular identity by Anna Euteneuer, University of Cologne edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

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.

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 ...

The production of D-2HG creates a bridge between mitochondrial dysfunction and the mechanics of the cell nucleus, an unexpected form of cross-talk that changes how we think about adaptation in ...
