Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. New research published in Science ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

In a quiet freshwater pond in Ibaraki Prefecture near Tokyo, researchers have pulled from the water a microscopic giant that ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Biochemistry and cell biology together address how molecules assemble into living cells, how cells sustain life through chemical reactions and how they organise into tissues and organs. Biochemistry ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...
