The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can influence ...

A hidden connection delivers energy directly from mitochondria to the nucleus, helping cells mature and embryos develop ...

For decades, biologists assumed a cell's energy simply diffused to wherever it was needed. It turns out the most important ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more vulnerable to diseases and infections. Once inside human cells, HIV ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.

Back 2.8 billion years ago, while Earth shifted its plates to make new continents and violent volcanoes produced new crust, life crafted a novel invention of its own. 1,2 At first, the nucleus was ...
