For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

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

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

Siegfried Musser, PhD, and his team in the Department of Cell Biology and Genetics at the Texas A&M College of Medicine have ...

Texas A&M University researchers work with experts from EMBL Imaging Centre to uncover how molecules navigate the nuclear ...

Due to the success of the Volume I of the Research Topic <a href=" Interactions with the Nucleus" we are launching a Volume II of the series.<br/><br/>Viruses cause numerous medically important ...

Sodium-ion batteries are safer and cheaper than lithium-ion batteries but need to improve their performance to be commercially deployed.

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 imaging ...
