Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the ...

In this article, you’ll learn how eukaryotic cells operate, providing a solid foundation for understanding how life functions ...

Cancer cells with such abnormal nuclei are able to migrate to other parts of the body in a process called cancer metastasis, a spreading that can be lethal. Nuclear shape observations are used in ...

In the inside-out model, the nucleus was, essentially, the remains of the archaeal cell after it wrapped its membranes around the alphaproteobacterium. So it would have appeared immediately.

But fat cells and their metabolic activities are only part of the story. Fat-filled lipid droplets, tiny spheres of fat many times smaller than fat cells, are a growing subject of scientific interest.

They are building on their previous work that uses microwave technology to detect cell viability, in which they used their technique to characterize the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus in a cell in ...

The results of the experiment show that Ndc1 is responsible for both the nuclear pore complex density and ultimate nucleus size, alongside other factors. This paper is part of larger efforts to study ...
