The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These "warrior" cells work to kill off infected or cancerous cells in what is both a quick yet ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

CiQUS researchers have developed a novel molecular technique that allows anticancer medications to enter the nucleus of tumor ...

A research team at CiQUS (University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain) has unveiled an innovative molecular approach that ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Scientists discovered four protein changes that help naked mole rats repair DNA faster. These small tweaks may explain their ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are ...

Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...
