Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into ...

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

Eukaryotic cells store their DNA in the nucleus ... that penetrate both nuclear membranes to form gateways between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Each nuclear pore complex (NPC) consists of more than ...

Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

The nuclear pore is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is ...

Looking at copia capsids inside the cell, the researchers discovered that viral particles in the cytoplasm are within reach of nuclear pores, which connect the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Calcium ions can trigger a BK channel to open its central passage or "pore," allowing a massive flow of potassium ions out of the cell. Research had long suggested -- but never proven with direct ...
