Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London have discovered that how soft or rigid proteins are in certain regions can dictate how fast or slow they enter the nucleus.

From middle school biology we were always taught that the nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, similar to how the brain is the control center of our own bodies. At first glance this makes a ...

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like ...

Scientists from Oxford have discovered a method to observe DNA function inside living cells. The dramatic breakthrough has the potential to enable the identification of alterations that can lead to ...

Estimation of the survival fractions of cells irradiated with various particles over a wide linear energy transfer (LET) range is of great importance in the treatment planning of charged-particle ...

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to ...

The Packard Center and ALS United will fund a preclinical study investigating how abnormal TDP-43 protein contributes to ALS.
